ISO: photo actions

[newfiemountiewife]

I don't have Lightroom, and I have a "software" budget, which I'm saving up for a newer version of Dreamweaver, so LR is out for now, til I get that.

Can you tell me what PS actions you use? What are your favorites?

I'm loving Nichole Van's actions, are there any others I should consider?

TIA for any help!

ETA I use PS CS3

If you have PS, check out Pioneer Woman.

I've used the Coffee Shop actions that Jami posted and found them great!

If you have PS, check out Pioneer Woman.

Thanks for posting that, they look great

You can get some free samples here: http://www.gettotallyrad.com/#rockin-photoshop-actions-7a1d9 and here: http://www.mcpactions.com/main.html (they are really expensive to buy though), and Pioneer Woman has some great free ones: http://thepioneerwoman.com/photography/2009/05/actions-update/

I mostly use Lightroom but do some editing in CS3 too so I've got most of the free ones mentioned here already & use them a lot. Here's another free set that I just downloaded but haven't had a chance to try out yet, I think I got the link over @ Clickin' Moms - Mullet God Actions

And here are a few other sets that I've been drooling over -
Eye Candy Actions by Sheye Rosemeyer
Lolly's Playground Actions
Delight Actions by Detra

Happy to see this thread. I didn't realize Traci's actions work in PSE7! Shoot! I just got PSE7, so I'll have to add those actions to my wish list!

I use the TRA freebies and PW's more than anything. I ♥ her sharpen action.

I know this thread is old, but I was gone all weekend so I'm posting.

I ♥ PW's actions. I use her boost action from set #1 on 99% of my photos.

I also like FinesseFX.com. They have some pretty softening & glowing effects.
