| Heres the original, downsized (greatly)

And, after DigitalDevos Action

Done in Photoshop 8.0 (8.0x118) on Win2K (NT5, SP4)
Action worked without any glitches. 
I added the matting, frame, and JM-04. These are not parts of the action.

| reply to Gemologist Very nice-have before here:

this is with first run/action? (may be calling it wrong:) )

this is second action without texturizer-really like being able to adjust the curve:

and this is last with texturizer (wasn't able to adjust this and may be handy in some instances, but liked the effects):

Nice job! Nice picture too! That is a great shot!
Some Tips for those testing.. as there has been a few questions:
1. The Curves are set a bit bright by default.. Adjust this by moving the existing marks to different positions up/down mainly... but left/right if needed. Experienced users can adjust them or add as needed. 2. The Canvas effect can be stronger or weaker by adjusting opacity of top layer at the end of the Stage 2. 3. Both Stages do NOT have to be used either.. They can be used together or by themselves. If using together Stage 1 should be done first followed by Stage 2. 4. I will correct the spelling mistakes..

| reply to Gemologist Yeah, now that you mention it, i did adjust the curves in action set 2, and had the layer opacity (for the texture) set at about 85%
The curves were along these lines..

Your stock curves are bright, but have the right shape..

 | reply to Gemologist Beta3 is available now.. I have re-adjusted the stock curves.. And have also added a Stand Alone Action for the Canvas texture so that Stage 1 can be sued by itself and then can add texture if desired. |

 | reply to Gemologist Very nicely done!
I have just finished Beta4... As suggested by Jason .. I added a way to automatically create a Duplicate Image of original so easier to experiment and sue more techniques. I added this into it's own Separate Action.. All it does when played is Create a Duplicate Image of the original. -- "We are all just Plagiarists of a real Artist, and her name is Mother Nature."

| reply to Gemologist on fourth tryout, didn't automatically go from 1 to two, had popup saying 2 not available, no big deal, just click on the two action and it started fine:
 |
|
 | I am not sure what happened there.. I can not get it to happen on my machine. I just did 12 images in a row to try..lol. Anyone else encountering this issue? Please let me know if you are. |

Hi DD,
Nice action. I will stick with the way I do the oil and water color conversions. Every pic has different needs for me. Keep up the GOOD WORK!
