Actions! My very 1st truly photoshop creations!

OH my oh my oh my!!!!

i did it! ALL THANKS TO pioneer woman's action set that she has updated here! it is sooooo sooo cool! all i did was to follow her instructions and double click... voila! since i was working on this photo, i though i will use the actions to tweak this and here is the before and after!

before

after

oh boy do i really love this effect! i used the action set: Seventies + Warmer + Sharpen. and there you have it! download it from her website. no photo will ever be the same again! :D

here's a little tip for those of you like me who's a little photoshop nerd :) i didn't really know how to use the actions until i read again the instructions. one little button makes the whole of difference. makes everything possible with just one click :D

here's a print screen of the step by step instructions on how to have your actions at a click. i had some trouble looking for the drop down menu. but once i found it. it's easy peasy from there after.
once you get this done, you just have to click on any actions in purple (some in other colours). you can combine a few of the actions to get an amazing effect. the thing is just go have fun! in any case, just click 'start all over' and you can do it all over again! it's that easy!

here's a cool visual reference to the options you get when you download the pioneer woman's action set. she really ROCKS!
