Photoshop Actions
some Photoshop actions that we use when we want to “touch up” photographs and add some extra effects.
For each of the actions, I’m going to use a photograph that started life as a 1600 x 1200 photograph shot on a Fuji Finexpix A201. I’ve reduced this down to 960 x 720 pixels to make it a more manageable download.

Skin Smoothing
A simple and individual action to soften some skin.
Cross-Processing ATN
Cross-processing, briefly, is a photographic technique where (usually) slide film (E6) is processed in the set of chemicals usually used to process print film (C41). (Less common is cross-processing in the other direction — print film processed in slide film chemicals) The result is images with oddly skewed colors and increased contrast and saturation.
Eye Color
An individual Action to color some eyes..
How to install the action:
1. Put the .ATN file from the zip in a directory of your choice. It does not need to be in the Photoshop directory.
2. Choose Load Actions from the Actions palette menu.
3. Select the action set file from die directory you saved it.
4. Click Load.
5. Have fun.
