Indigo PhotoShop Actions

December 2000.

Looking at the offerings for December you may think that we have been creating actions on an empty stomach! Oh well, it's the holidays. In January our new years resolution will be "Low Calorie Actions". It will go well with my annual "I'm going to get back into shape" resolution. This will be the last batch that were made exclusively for version 5. Most of these will work in 6, but there are problems with some. Next months actions will be backwards and forwards compatible.

Instructions
For each action there is a thumbnail of the 'Before' and 'After' image. Clicking on either will bring up the full size version. Grab a copy of the full size version of the 'Before Image' and use it to test the action. Your image should look just like the 'After' version when complete. If all goes well, you can than experiment on your own. To download the action files, click on the action title or icon for each action.

Be sure and check out our new 'Hey, Your Actions Actually Work' section with images that people have sent in that were created in whole or in part by one of our actions. If you have cool images that you have created with our actions, send them in. We would love to post them. Email us for information on how to submit your stuff!!

Astroturf

Description: Done in the spirit of football season. As you can see, we are located in the Chicago area and used our favorite teams' name despite their record.

Snacky Cake

Description: OK, I know these "Cream Filled Pastry Actions" have been done to death, but I just can't resist the sugar high you get from those store bought snack cakes. You know the ones that make your cheeks burn and the top of your head tingle. That is, until 20 minutes later when you come crashing down like a drug addict on the first morning of rehab. Chocolate cake, cream filling, icing and a dusting of powdered sugar. Mmmm Mmmm. Someone make a milk action, quick!! Photoshop Version: 5.5 Font Used: Bees Knees
