So here they are. My custom actions. We’ve all been there, processing away, getting frustrated with skin tones that are over saturated and working with actions that aren’t adjustable. So I started making actions on my own..
These are the actions I use on my own photographs. I have had seven awesome testers and everyone loves them so I did not have any problems releasing them to everyone…especially since everything is super adjustable.
Favorite Action Combination
I thought I would share my favorite action combo! Vintage Haze and Colorlicious.

Update - Action Mixing
Actions are a lot of fun by themselves but you can also mix them!! I wanted to share an example of what you can do mixing actions.
On this photo I used Colorlicious and I took the opacity of the hue/saturation layer down to 0%, I flattened and then used vintage/haze 4.
I brought the opacity of the lighten up layer down to 20% (this will vary by photo) Then on the first channel mixer layer I brought the opacity down to 30% and flattened. I then ran the soft cross process action and brought each layer’s opacity to 30% and flattened.
Free Action
Another giveaway but this time EVERYONE gets it! For those of you who already have my actions this is for you too because this action is NOT in your pack.
Today your getting my Vintage action!

I’ve done it again. I got a new computer and lost the actions I bought from you, now that same stinking new computer had to be reformatted so I’ve again lost your actions. I bought them through clickinmoms and it was the set with colorliscious and all your haze actions. It would be great if you could send them through to me again. Thanks so much Ashley.

p.s. I adore those new preggo shots. I especially love the green and white stripe shirt shot.
Hi Ashley,
I just bought the Photoshop action package. I am wondering about the mode of receiving products for download, are you sending by cd to my address or i can download online somewhere? I really love your products and want to use it ASAP!
Thanks and keep making great works!!
