			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here they are. My custom actions. We&#8217;ve all been there, processing away, getting frustrated with skin tones that are over saturated and working with actions that aren&#8217;t adjustable. So I started making actions on my own. </p>
<p>These are the actions I use on my own photographs. I have had awesome testers, as well as hundreds of satisfied customers, and everyone loves them&#8230; especially since everything is super adjustable.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s opacity to 30% and flattened.</p>
