    Do any of these actions replicated the “cross-processing” filter that’s built into Paintshop Pro XI and XII? That single filter, which emulates the enhances contrast and saturation you get by processing film as a slide (or vice versa) resulting in a cool 70s look is SO important to my photo style, I haven’t been able to fully move to Photoshop for fear of giving it up. ideas?

    designing is becoming way. too. easy for people. i swear its like the time autotune was created.. now anyone can make just about anything.. UGH.

    *goes back to coding on notepad, and mocking up on a pad of paper*

    The thing that gets me about some of these – is that some of the people that have created these try to claim copyright to photoshop actions (?!) – and say that they can’t be used outside of deviantart.

    I believe that’s bullcrap. Actions are not like brushes and the like, they are simply a set of steps – if I use my own techniques to achieve the same look – are they going to come after me for using their “copyrighted” set of steps? It’s bull.

    Ummm, some of these links go to a DevianArt page that aren’t available–therefore there are no actions 😉 can you please fix these? This a really good list of actions for Photoshop. thanks.
