Using photoshop actions to edit pictures is so fun! “Actions” are a series of recorded steps that make it real quick to edit photos! [one click] For me using photoshop actions is kind of like playing dress up! Pick out an outfit, try it on, see how it looks, then try out another!
You can get free photoshop actions from The Pioneer Woman and Addy Lane. Addy Lane also has very good instructions on how to install the actions. Once the actions are installed you just open your photo and pick an action to test out!
So you take this original photo…
And your photo turns into …..
[soft & faded – pioneer woman]
[fresh & colorful – pioneer woman]
[quick edge burn – pioneer woman]
How do you like to edit your pictures? Do you use photoshop, gimp, or picnik?
Or maybe you don’t edit your photos at all?
No wrong answer here. Just asking!

Your reply didn’t let me know I had a reply. Boo. I will…one thing I do is “like” different companies on FB…like MCP Actions and Florabella, etc. Some of them have free photoshop actions once you like their page. I also have Paint the Moon and Yellow Sky for free through FB. They don’t offer tons, but some are really good.
Kendra says
Cool! I will check those fb pages out! …. don’t know what is up with my comment responder… never ending battle.
I installed a plugin for it but the emails it sent were just being put in people’s spam boxes. I need to find a new one!
