Link Love: Actions
I LOVE actions & I want to spread the action love & I thought I’d post a little list of some of my favorite action download sites. As far as I know, all are free for commercial use & if anyone finds Terms of Use that deviate from that please, please, please let me know!
All of these are for adding pop to Portraits (and maybe landscapes – but I don’t do much work with those, so it’s up to you). I’m not a fan of text actions, so there aren’t any listed, but google can always help you find those resources.
http://totallyradactions.com/ These actions are super sweet but to get the whole pack, you’ll have to pay. However, if you amble on over & find the link for samples, you can get a taste of how good these actions are. If you download the samples for both pack 1 & 2, you’ll get 6-7 free actions.
http://thepioneerwoman.com/ There are two sets here and don’t miss the second set (check the left side bar for the link) because it’s my favorite! These actions are lovely & well-worth download (especially when they’re free!)
http://coffeeteaphotography.blogspot.com/ This is one of my favorites. I subscribe to her blog because she comes out with a new action every 2 weeks or so. Definitely check out the Color Pop & Vivid sets!
http://night-fate.deviantart.com : A HUGE conglomeration of actions. I still haven’t cracked the surface on downloading them – but I kinda like being able to visit & find new stuff when I’m in the mood for a new set.
David Ward Photography Actions on Adobe Exchange. These are fun. Especially the Old Toy Camera. I love to run it when I want a little spin on Black & White.
http://www.mulletgod.org/photoshopactions/ Click the “download” link at the top to get to the actions – but first, take a look at what others are doing with them! Awesome!
And because it’s always better with a picture, here are some samples with the super fantastic & lovely Kristin:
SOOC – Straight out of Camera
#1 – Totally Rad Actions “Super Fun Happy”
#2 – Coffee Shop’s B&W Actions “Moody”
#3 – Mulletgod’s “Vintage White”
#4 – Night-Fate’s “Set 45 — #5″
#5 – Pioneer Woman, Set 2 “Heartland”
If you have no idea what “actions” are and why I’m babbling about them, check out this link or this one, or, hey, even both if you want a thorough introduction.
