Shadowhouse Creations Action Set # 3

 

Welcome to Shadowhouse Creations Action Set # 3

I'm asking for a $7.00 PayPal Donation for this action set

Action Set # 3 contains 10 various automated actions
The layers are merged, so the actions are not editable.
The actions were made in Photoshop CS3, so they should be
compatible from CS3 and up, also Elements 11, now that it
can run actions but still unable to make them.

*** If by chance you receive a pop up message while running
an action, just click OK and the action will finish ***

** Everything I make is done on a PC / Windows **
I have not a clue about Mac, although I would love to have one,
the cost is to steep, not to mention all the software I would
have to purchase and replace ..........

CS6 WARNING WHILE USING "FOND MEMORIES"
*JUST CLICK CONTINUE AND LET IT FINISH*

CS6 WARNING WHILE USING " SWEET TIMES"
*JUST CLICK OK TO LET IT FINISH*

My Photoshop Actions may be used for personal and commercial uses.

You may not redistribute, sell, copy, publish, convert, reproduce,
re-upload, or claim my resources as your own under any circumstances.

** EXAMPLES OF ACTIONS BEFORE & AFTER IN USE **

Miss You Guys

Sorry for the long absence, but personal health and family matters have been of most
concern over the last month.  I'm saddened to say that a member of my family has
passed away recently and the aftermath has left me quite numb.

If this wasn't enough, a family pet of twelve years passed away a week later, not  the
way I was hoping the Holidays would start out.  Christmas is my favorite time of the
year, but trying to get in the Christmas spirit is rather tough this year, so I'm looking
forward towards the new year.

My New Year resolution is to get back to posting on a regular basis and to work on
my facebook page, still trying to find a way to have my blog posts automatically post to facebook.

 

Liight Leak Texture Set

 
 
 
 
 


Liight Leak Texture Set contains seventeen digitally created faux Liight Leak
textures of various sizes,shapes and colors.
Just treat them as you would any other texture, by adjusting the Layer Modes and
Opacity to achieve various results.

I hope this set can be of some small help.

Shadowhouse Creations Action Set 2

I'm touched by the results that my first action set garnered, and appreciate those who
honored the 5 dollar Paypal donation, thanks kindly.

I appreciate those who followed my wishes on the first set, but I have to say overall
it wasn't even close.  The sales doesn't even come close to the downloads.

I Knew going into the honor to pay idea was going to be a lopsided chance, but I was really
shocked to see the difference.

I'm going to give the honor to pay Paypal donation idea another chance, mainly to see if
this time will be closer than the first, I sure hope so, I have faith and believe truly
that that the majority of people are honest.

I'm asking for a $7.00 Paypal donation when downloading this set, this set of 5 actions
took a lot of my time to make, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

***  This action set is for those of you who have Photoshop CS3 and newer. ***

I tried my best to make it Photoshop Elements compatible, but it just wasn't working.
The main reason is some tools/elements of Photoshop that I used to compose this set
wouldn't work in Photoshop Elements, I have version 9.

This set has been tested in Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS6 and works perfectly with only one click in both versions.

The Actions Included are:

1: Magical Pop Effect
This action alone is worth the price of the set.
This action is a workhorse, and it will bring your photos to a new life with a big bang!

2: Classy HDR Effect
I'm not a big fan of the HDR effect, mainly because most people over use the effect, which
results in a cartoon like effect.  This action/effect I intended a more subtle HDR effect
without going overboard!

3: Vintage Light & Grain
This action lives up to its name, meaning it produces an tinted grainy/vintage effect with
a touch of lighting thrown in.

4: Enchanted Glow Effect
This action produces a nice soft glow and is at its best used on winter images, interior
lighting images or as a ethereal glow to portraits.

5: Retro Violet Effect
This along with "Magical Pop Effect" are my favorites, this action can be used in so many
settings, another workhorse!

Shadowhouse Creations Actions Volume One

                             ** UPDATE ** 
I've made these available for PS Elements also, just click
on the Elements Download link.  Please try them out first
then pay, I'm rather a newb when working in PS Elements,
but I have them installed and working in PS Elements 9.
Adobe really, really needs to make installing actions a lot
more easier and consistent across all versions of Elements!

This, My Shadowhouse Creations Actions Volume One set
consumed quite a bit of my time and attention and I must say
I'm extremely pleased with the outcome. I also added a free
bonus to the deal, which you can see with examples by
clicking Read More!


*** I'm going to try something new for the first time, and I
must say that I've personally ever come across such an idea.***

I'm for the first time going to put a price on this download,
and it's what I call the honor system, if you decide to download,
and I hope you do, I'm asking a 5 dollar Paypal donation for this
set after you download and check it out. I know I can't stop people
from downloading "well actually I can, but I won't" without paying,
but I'm testing the waters so to speak on a new concept.

If this idea bombs, I'll have to set up a blog just for merchandise
I intend on selling in the near future.


Peace, and as always, have fun.

Antique White Action & Walk Through

I've been tinkering around with Photoshop actions for the last week, and although I'm
a heavy user of textures, I rarely ever use actions.  I've never really delved into making
actions seriously, but I thought it was time to finally do it, not an easy task on my part.

The before image is posted above.

Antique White Walk Through:

Step 1:Open Image which automatically becomes the background layer, click on the
background and duplicate the layer, then go to Filter and select Sharpen, then
select sharpen again.

Step 2:Go to Layer, select New Fill Layer, select solid color, click OK then enter
#e1dbbf and then OK - now select Multiply as the layer mode and set the opacity at 50%.

Step 3:Go back to the background layer and dupliate it again, then drag it on top
so its the top layer.

Step 4:Make sure the top layer is selected and go to Filter and select Stylize then
select emboss, now set the Height to 4 and the Amount at 56, click OK.  Now set the
layer mode to Color Dodge and the opacity to 30%.

Step 5: Now go to Image, then adjustments, and select Channel Mixer and set the Preset
to Custom, Red at +111,Green at +99, Blue at -58, and the Constant at -15 %, leave the
Monochrome unchecked, click OK.

Step 6: Go to Layer, select New Fill Layer, select solid color, click OK then enter
#efc3f0 and then OK - now select Linear Dodge as the layer mode and set the opacity at 32%.

Step 7: Go to Layer, New Adjustment Layer, select Brightness/Contrast, then set the Brightness
at -5 and the Contrast at +29, click OK.

Step 8: o to Layer, New Adjustment Layer, select Brightness/Contrast, then set the Brightness
at -9 and the Contrast at +18, click OK.


That's it, we're done.

Here's the after image posted below.

 



























Here's a couple more examples posted below:

Hopefully this can be of some small use, and keep an eye out for more actions in the
near future.
