Playing with John's Photo Blast Actions

I have John's Photo Blast actions and I like this pic. of Jada. I thought it would be perfect to try the actions. Usually, 99% of my pics are motorcycles and related parts! So, I am going to wear this pic. out trying the actions. Actually, John's action duplicate the original so playing is quick and easy peasy!

1. Acid Wash---love, love this action!

2. Antique Color

3. Beauty Glow

4. Contra Soft

5. Color Wash Pro

6. Polaroid

7. Soft

8. Saddle

9. Rustic Charm

10. Soft Edges

11. Soft Edges 3

12. Soft Edges 4

13. Sunset Color Sketch

Which number (s) is/are your favorite/favorites.

I did run all the actions today and first saved all my favorites and loaded them. After looking at them again I love 1, 4, 6 and 13.

Happy Days!!

Incidentally, you can run multiple actions over each other to achieve different effects. I've done that and have gotten cool results (really depends on the photo though).

Very fun, Susan!; February 22, 2008 at 3:22 PM
Jeanne said...: My preference is for the soft ones. I know actions are fun, but I personally don't quite get why the acid wash is so popular...but I'm not a true photographer so I am sure I am missing something when people show all the altered photos! Love love love the look of the soft ones!; February 23, 2008 at 6:56 AM

Unknown said...: Oh Susan, these are wonderful! I'm soooo glad you showed all the different ones on the same photo! That really helps me get a better perspective as I also have the PhotoBlasts. Jada is gorgeous BTW! I always have trouble with the paint step.Do you do that manually or just let the actions go automatically? Great job & TFS!; February 26, 2008 at 7:56 AM
