Lights, Camera, {Photoshop} Actions!
Actions are the simplest ways to dress-up your photos! They simplify your post-processing workflow and allow Photoshop novices to perform complex techniques and effects with the push of a button.
**The following article was written by guest contributor, Emily Powers.**
Installing an action in more recent versions of Photoshop is easy. Simply drag the .atn file onto the Actions Palette or place it directly inside your Adobe Photoshop\Presets\Photoshop Actions folder.
Join me as we take a quick spin around the worldwide web. I want to share some of my favorite Photoshop Actions with you.

Itty Bitty: Little Products for Big Dreamers
http://ittybittyactions.com
$99 per set
Vibrant whimsical color, rich cross-processing, divinely tinted black and whites—the Itty Bitty Proofing Actions are the brain child of Jinky Art’s Barb Uil. I like to think that her actions give ordinary camera enthusiasts access to a tiny bit of her giggles, tickles and childhood wishes magic.
Indie Actions
http://indieactions.com/
$20 and up
These actions are affordable and provide just the right mount of artistic pop! This is the perfect beginner set for aspiring photographers or do-it-yourselfers that want to obtain a pro look. The rich color conversions and classic black and white actions will give your ordinary photos extraordinary flair.
BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS WITH TIPS:
Straight out of the camera.
I used a variety of Photoshop actions from The Totally Rad Action Mix. Technicolor Dream World No Glow + Pro Retouch + Boutwell Magic Glasses + Slice Like a Ninja + Vignette & Blur Fast.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, {PHOTOSHOP} ACTIONS! TIPS:
1. Don’t overdo it! Less is more. Think of actions as the finishing touch not the whole kit and caboodle.
2. You get what you pay for. There are a lot of free actions available, but I recommend investing in a quality action set—like The Totally Rad Action Miix. Learn how to customize and make each action your own with layer masks.
3. Use actions to streamline your post-processing workflow. In addition to enhancing your images, actions can also help you perform common tasks like resizing your images.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But imagine if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this site could definitely be one of the best in its niche. Fantastic blog!
