The Basics

As I'm sure you're all aware, for the last 8 weeks we've been creating simple actions for you for just £1 each. Well we've decided to bundle them together and make them available as a set we're calling The Basics.

The set is just £5 and includes the following actions:

- Basic Warmth

- Basic Cool

- Basic Colour Pop

- Tone Down

- Basic Boost

- Basic Fade

- Cool Vignette

- Add Noise

PLUS the 3 original freebies

- Basic Pop

- Basic Haze

- Highlight Rescue

PS. Don't worry, if there's just 1 of these actions you'd like to buy - you can still get them individually here.

Friday Action: Add Noise

This week we've created a little Add Noise tool for you. I think it works best combined with other actions like in the example included below (with Cool Vignette and Basic Fade) - don't forget to merge the noise layer with the background (cmd + shift + e) before running another action on top! 
Have fun!

Friday Action: Cool Vignette

Cool Vignette is this week's Friday Action. It's a twist on the classic vignette and an easy way to give your pics a subtle faded edge for a vintage feel!

3 Ways To Use Basic Fade

I'm a big fan of last week's £1 Action Basic Fade so thought today I'd show you some different ways to use it!

This is the image with no action on it...

1. Keep it nice and simple with Basic Fade at 100%:

2. Mix it up with Basic Fade at 50% over a strong action like Cookies And Cream (from Set I & II):

3. Create a super dreamy effect by putting Basic Fade at 40% over something like Light Haze (from Set III):

Bye for now...
