One Action, Many Looks – Velvet Retro | Photoshop Actions

One of the things I take in pride in is creating actions that are highly customizable and “tweakable” for different looks. One action, tweaked different ways can take on several unique looks for your image. For this example, I’m using one of my current favorites, Velvet Retro, from the Picture Perfect Mega Portrait Set. I also placed a Dancing Light – Bokehlicious overlay on the top set to soft light, just to enhance the bokeh that was already there (nothing like the carousel for great bokeh!!). Paint the Moon actions can be ran with one click and left as is, or you can explore your own creativity and style by adjusting the results to your own desires.

If you want more tips on how to “tweak” your action results and really customize your look, see the article “How can actions rock my world?”

  1. So beautiful Annie! Really wish I could get these. They all look gorgeous.

  2. Love it when you share your “recipes” with us, I’m learning so much from you! FYI, the Elements version of Picture Perfect Mega Portrait Set is now on my Christmas list – well, I’ve asked for $$ contributions so I can get it. This means that as soon as you release I’ll be able to buy it. {~{~{~{~{Happy dance}~}~}~}~}

So many different things I can do with the actions for so many different looks. Keep on sharing tips like this. I really LOVE to see that. I definitely need to take the time to try them out. But everything is rush, rush, and rush some more now. Maybe after the holidays 🙂
