Nicole Van's Actions

I have a friend named Denise... her images are breathtaking! Here is her site. Mommy and Me Photography
She uses Nicole Van's actions on some of her images. So, I went out and bought myself some. Now I am not foolish enough to believe my images will turn out like Denise's but hey, you have to start somewhere. (hehe)
Here is the link to Nicole's site. NicoleV photography
Designed for Photoshop Elements 5 and Photoshop 7, CS, CS2, and CS3.

Here is Sophia using the color pop action.



Here is the same image using Nicole's dark and moody black and white action, with a chocolate tone applied.

I've been using Nicole's actions for over 6 months now and just love them. They truely add that "kreative touch" to oridinary digital photos.

Answering questions & another mask

If you have a rar. folder that you need to unzip. You can download a free trial of winRAR here. CNet has a very good record of safe downloads. It is a 40 day free trial. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and it worked great. When your 40 days are up, you can uninstall it from your computer and be back to normal. Next... If you come to a texture that is just an image such as the Antique1 texture. Right click and copy it. This will copy the image to your computers clipboard. Open CS or Elements. Hit Ctrl N for a new document. Your computer will remember the copied size and make a new document to fit it. Once your new blank document is opened. Hit Ctrl V, this paste your image into the document. Now save in your texture folder. Another thing; if you watch the video but you are working in Elements and don't have a layer mask button. Do This. Open a new levels adjustment layer. Click ok without making any changes. This now gives you a layer mask to paint on. Click on your mask to m...
