October 2000. Return to Indigo Free Stuff

It's time to try something a little different.  I'm having a difficult time keeping this updated, so I've decided to simplify things a bit and dish out a set of these each month in a new format.  For each action there will be a thumbnail of the 'Before' and 'After'.  Clicking on either will bring up the full size version.  Use the full size version of the 'Before Image' to test the action with.  Your image should look just like the 'After' version when complete.  From there you can experiment on your own.  To download the action files, click on the action title or icon for each action.

Anyway, let's try this out and see how it goes.  If you have images that you have created with our actions, send them in.  We would love to put together a section with all of your contributions.  Email us for information on how to submit your stuff!!

Pumpkin Head

Photoshop Version: 5.5 Font Used: Grizzly
Balloonz
Description: Fun party balloons with a nice air brushed look that you get to choose the color for.  You will be prompted to use the Hue Slider in the Hue/Saturation Adjustment Tool.  Just slide the slider back and forth to pick your color.  Run it on all the letters separately to get different colored balloons.  Uses embossed channels to get the air brush look.

Peanut Butter and Crackers
Description: Crackers and Peanut Butter each on their own layer, so, if you don't like the peanut butter you can scrape it off!  Try and keep your fingers out of the peanut butter jar please!

Submarine Sandwich
Description: Put on your aprons, because this one could get messy!  Bread, Lettuce, Mustard and Ketchup, all on separate layers for your eating enjoyment.  (Yes, I know ketchup on a sub is disgusting, but I needed color!)  Give yourself room around your letters for plenty of fixins.  The bread takes some time to bake, but, we want it to be fresh, don't we?

Toy Plastic
Description: Double Decker Plastic.  Pick your color, any color.  You will be prompted to pick your top and bottom color by using the Hue Slider in the Hue/Saturation Adjustment Tool.  Just slide it around until you see a color that suits your fancy.
