ATN | 158 KB | RS

Description
This simple yet productive set of 12 actions will help you create several common portrait effects, and particularly wedding portraits. The set consists of 11 effects, plus an action with some brief instructions and pointers.
Included in the set is an action to help enhance skin tones, 4 black and white conversions, a dramatic light contrast action, and 5 variations of soft filter effects.
While these actions were made specifically for use on your wedding pictures, feel free to experiment on other types of images as well. Also, you can acheive a wide variety of results by combining these actions on the same image.

The following briefly describes each action:

1. "Instructions"
Just a few pointers to get you started
2. "Improve Skin Tones"
This subtle action will accentuate the peach hues in your image, yeilding noticably more attractive skin tones.
3. "B/W Conversion (Purity)"
The effect results in very attractive, light skin while maintaining a nice contrast.
4. "B/W Conversion (Whisper)"
Very much a classic looking conversion, the image is given medium contrast with a slight sepia tone.
5. "B/W Conversion (Timeless)"
This gentle conversion gives your image a soft contrast in the highs, medium contrast in blacks, with barely a hint of warmth. Like a modern image taken using black & white film.
6. "B/W Conversion (Generations)"
This throwback conversion gives an "antique" feeling to your picture. Complete with sepia tone, grain, and a high contrast in the highs.
7. "Dynamic Light Contrast"
Find the right image, and this effect will amaze you. It lightens your image, while still preserving a good contrast in the mids and lows.
8. "Soft (Subtle)"
Attempts to preserve color and tonal range while approximating the look of a soft filter #1.
9. "Soft (Normal)"
Attempts to preserve color and tonal range while approximating the look of a soft filter #2.
10. "Soft (Strong)"
Attempts to preserve color and tonal range while approximating the look of a soft filter #2.
11. "Soft (Daydream)" Lightens the overall image and applies a strong soft filter effect.
12. "Soft (Night Visions) Darkens the mids while smoothing out the highs and applying a strong soft filter effect.
