The Photoshop actions make extensive use of non-destructive techniques (vector graphics, smart objects and smart filters). The final Photoshop images are fully layered, making extensive use of non destructive techniques (smart filters, adjustment layers, vector shapes etc).

CONTENTS:

The product contains 2 sets of Photoshop actions, optimized for images of landscape and square shapes, respectively. The actions in each set are grouped into 4 groups:

1. The first group (“CHOOSE A FRAME”) includes the framing actions (24 in total). These actions let you add a frame to your photo, allowing you to choose from a wide range of effects. For example you can apply a beautiful vintage frame with deckled or arched edges; or you can use the more creative options (e.g. apply a laced frame, a frame with stripes, or even turn your photo into an awesome scroll!)
   
   
2. The actions in the second group (”CHANGE PHOTO EDGES”) can be used to modify the photo edges, allowing you to choose from 4 different edge effects.
   
   
3. The actions in the third group (”COLOR TINTS & SHIFTS”) can be used to modify the colors of the photos (apply sepia tones, B&W, cross-processing effects, etc). There are 12 different effects available.
   
   
4. The 8 actions in the fourth group (”ADD AGING EFFECTS”) will make the photo look very old by applying a range of aging effects (scratches, spots, etc.)

The workflow is particularly flexible: Once you add the photo frame, you can use the remaining actions in any order. You can go back at any point and use a different action, e.g. to change the color scheme or edit the photo edges. In addition you can apply the same aging effects as many times as you wish.

The product contains also a bonus PSD template, as was mentioned above.

The trial version includes a small subset of the actions included in the full version.
