This dramatic and varied set of 6 actions takes your images and creates a window around a portion of the picture. It also surrounds that window in a variety of different backgrounds and borders which set off the window, leaving you with a unique and attractive picture effect . The actions included in this set are: Sepia Highlight Soft Edge, Sepia Highlight Glass Edge, Pastel Painted Jagged Edge, Sepia Highlight Rough Inner, Wintertime Spatter Edge, and Old Window Jagged Edge.One of the great things about this set is that it is so easily customized to suit your picture and your preferences. You get to choose exactly where the window will go, and even after the action is completed, you can still move the window Of course the actions are all left in layers (and the layer styles in tact) so you can edit, duplicate, scale, etc., any part of the picture. Scaling the layer styles, putting the effect on different backgrounds, adding text, etc. are all options that are easily acheived. On a personal note, I would like to give credit to Robert Anselmi and his Magic Eyes action, and also Matt Kloskowski’s tutorial on photoshopuser.com for inspiring the idea and parts of the techniques used in this set.

Make your pictures stand out with this dynamic action set These 5 actions each frame the photo of your choice with a different artistic effect. The set contains 5 actions - one action to set up your picture so it will work correctly with the mattes, and then 4 matte effects. These 4 effects are titled Dark Grain, Dark Texture, Light Waves, and Impressionism. Each one applies a different border effect on your image, but all make your pictures pop from the screen (or page) In addition, these mattes are very customizable, as stops throughout the action allow you to change the width of the inside and outside border, as well as scale the inside and outside layer effects to your liking.

The Photo Filters action set was created from several common workflows I often encounter in processing images.This set contains 8 different Filters and one action giving some basic instructions. The actions included are: Soft Filter (Glow), Soft Filter (Subdued), Soft Filter (Dream), Lighten (Without Fading), Lighten (Xtreme), Skin Tone Warming, Nature Photo Enhancement, and Antique.This diverse set should be useful in many different instances as a quick fix or a starting point for your images. On some of the filters, a few options are given for fuller customization of the final effect. The Antique filter is the most complex, as it applies a variety of subtle details to the image to give a truly olden days feel to your picture. Some of these details are noise, sepia toning, scratches, and stains.

There are 34 actions in total - and you get every single one upon download. The End of the Day set (red dots) is prefered for outside pictures. The Dreary (the ones with green dots) can be used for anything. Vintage set (white dots) look different on different pictures (as with all of them, but they vary more than usual). And the B&W set (yellow dots) can be a bit bright for some photos

About 10 years ago I was somewhat obsessed with toy cameras. Back when Holgas were only $15 bucks a pop you could buy stacks of them and make modifications without much worry of messing up and losing a large investment. They were fun and cheap. You could experiment as much as you like for less than the price of two movie tickets. Recently I noticed the same camera selling in a trendy boutique for over $50… my heart died a little inside. Kind of took some of the magic out of what made those cameras so fun to begin with. Anyway, I was approached by a company a few years back to create a Photoshop action that would emulate the aesthetic you get with similar “toy cameras,” and the first iteration of the Holgarizer was born. I began using it on my own crappy digital images and before long friends started asking me, “What camera are you using? What film are you shooting?” Well, that was it, I was simply running the Holgarizer Action in Photoshop. Now people are probably more likely to ask what effect in Instagram Im using. Times change. Artistic mediums and tools change with them, I guess.
