Professional Photo Retouching Action – Download Free Our First Release
Although we post a lot of tutorials that lecture you how to turn your ordinary photos into professional shots, many of us still get stuck and end up playing actions. It only takes seconds and the result is often very impressive.
With so many thoughts and experience I have, I chose it would be a shame if I won’t release a set of actions to help the readers of PSwish.com and LoreleiWebDesign.com, so here is my initially release, PSWISH 3 Action (pro). Please note that this action is for personal use one, and cannot be resold or redistributed on additional websites.
Instruction:
- The action will work best with LIGHT photos. Any area that is slightly dark will turn black.
- The final result’s affect scheme of the photo is determent by your Background and Center colors set before you played the action. Play with different variations to see what works best for you. If the results turn to be too dark or too reddish, set both center and background colors to lighter hues. Alternatively, hide the dark clouds layer when the action is finished playing (which makes the shot significantly lighter yet keeps the professional touch the action applied).
I use CS3 so I had no chance to test it on CS2 or lower, if anyone does, please drop a comment not more than so that additional users will know if it’s suitable for additional versions or not.
What you can do with this Photoshop Action?
This is thought for retouching photos with dull colors, or those that turned to be too light and as a result — uselessly dull. It will help you to turn any ordinary shot into a professional, “ancient school” photo with very strong contrast, slightly cold colors and grainy texture that is pulled from photo itself, and applied without using any additional grain effect. Like I said, if the result turns to be nearly black, this means your colors were too dark, because if you hide the clouds layer (should be one before last) — you will get excellent results but without this wonderful dramatic dark grain.
