W_e_l_l,..Yeah! Whatareya waitin' for? :D :p
Glad y'all like these. I have yet to download and try all the ones I want.
Even though I have only scratched the surface with Photoshop and I'm not proficient with it yet, I just couldn't resist a toy like this. Can't wait to try the space and planets brushes. :)

If I run across any more cool stuff like this, I'll be sure to post the link.

actions are quite nifty. they are little mini hmmmmm ... what's a good word here, little mini things that incorpate several menu steps all at once, automating the "actions".

for example. we have specific actions for sizing pics for the newspaper page - 1 column, 2 columns etc. we click on a button and it automatically sizes the pic to the correct size instead of the photog having to go into 'image size' and changing the size manually including res for printing.

i built one for converting pics to black and white using the LAB lightness channel, a much better looking greyscale than just going straight to greyscale. one click of the button and the photo is changed to black and white and sharpened.

so actions take many steps or even just one and convert them into one click of the mouse or one F key.

if you check out that site i mentioned there are LOTS of cool actions. you just have to be careful that what you do doesn't look as if you used a cutesy action! :)

most work on layers so you can adjust the final look to your taste.

So if I am understanding this right, say I have a set of photos that all need to be altered in one way and look the same, play with hues, saturation, brightness, contrast, ect. I can save these settings in order on one photo and then click a button to do the same effects on all the other photos? Ooh... I am going to have to learn about this for the near future! Thank you. :)

not only that, but once you have the action created - very easy to do by the way, you can go to the automate feature in the file menu and tell it to apply the action to a folder of images or all open pics. hit the button and voila! it does it all.

to start just build an action that does one thing and then progress from there. show actions are in the windows menu.

So funny you should mention that!!! I'm just catching up on posts and just bought one for myself (early birthday present :) ) at lunch.

Thanks for the Photoshop plugin, Major!
