Focus on Photos Challenge - Using Actions

Actions and filters are a great way to spruce up your photos. If you haven't discovered them yet, you are in for some fun! Basically, an action is series of steps that have been saved and allow you to use it by simply clicking the 'play' button. They do anything from black and white conversions, sharpening, colorizing, tinting, adding grain, creating the look of an old photograph and much, much more! Michelle has an awesome ANTIQUE PAPER action for sale here at Little Dreamer Designs, and you can find many others by doing a Google search for 'Photoshop actions'. Try playing with actions today and upload your layouts to the challenge gallery to share. Don't forget to tell us which actions you have used! Here are some samples to get you going:

'Unique' by Stacy

Action Used Photo: Hayes Island Variant

Thanks so much for the post, it's very interesting and many thanks for the frames they are great. :)

Also I have been reading backwards and I have read about the journalling prompts and I think the one you talk about in August 5 is a fantastic idea and I might use soon in a layout. So many, many thanks for it. :)

Best wishes. :O)
