Hi Everyone,

I had some really positive comments on the Image Punch! Action, and I just wanted to let you all know that I have released 2 new actions since that time. There is a "Blurred Frame Action" and my most recent "Vignetting Action Pack" which also includes a very nice black and white conversion technique, and the ability to add either a dark or light vignette (with opacity control too).

Please give them a try, they are completely free on the Actions page, or you can see a sample on the mainpage of PhotographyBB

It would be great if you could post some examples of your use with the actions here, for us all to enjoy! :)

Thank you Dave, I just discovered your actions, can't wait to try them.

Hi Dave...

Appreciate you sharing your handiwork once again. Much appreciated.

See attachment for a suggestion to consider. By adding a grouped Hue/Sat adjustment layer set to Colorize above the vignette layer, after the action completes one could tweak the Hue/Sat controls to get a dark, light or colorized effect without having to run the action again. I'm kind of indecisive, so I like this level of flexibility. :)

Food for thought...

Keep up the good work.

Hey Danny!

Love the idea... I'll see what I can come up with in the form of a color overlay layer :) Great stuff!

Dave

Ok! I've edited the Action to include 2 more actions. The new version includes the previous 4 actions, plus a version to change the background vignetting color to any color of your choice through a "solid color" adjustment layer. It also includes the black and white version, with the solid color option for the background too.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Dave
