Glass Orb effect
Create an amasing Glass Orb based on the ‘background’ color chip with this free Adobe Photoshop Action.

Out of Bounds
The PanosFX Out of Bounds is an advanced tool which simplifies the steps needed to create the impressive and popular OoB effects.

Rule of Thirds and Golden Mean Actions
As you are learning composition, the so-called “Rule” of Thirds can be helpful. Some folks think the Golden Mean is a better compositional guideline.

Border and Bend
These 2 very impressive (and free!) sets of actions play tricks with borders and shadows to give your images a pseudo-3D look.

This works best on dark or deep blue skies. Add a grad-filter type effect to the top of the image.

Ragged Frame Action
Place a ragged frame around your image. You control the color of the frame. The shape is pretty much random.
