Hey I just wanted to post my new PRO ACTIONS website is now active!!!
Download your free beta PRO ACTIONS now!
Check out www.getproactions.com

Thanks Steve. I'll give it a try and let you know what I think. At first glance, Mr. Perfect is pretty nice and the teeth whitener is truly easy.

Easy is good.

Thanks! I'm an action junkie

I agree that Mr. Perfect is really nice. I also like the fuzz. I don't really understand sin city yet--it looked funny on the first pic I tried it on. I'd love to see some other examples with that action. Is it for selective color?

This is so much fun to see folks giving these a try... Thanks for being some of the first!!!

Yep Sin City is a selective color action but I also think it works well just on it's own as a cool black and white action. Some adjusting may be done to the "Glow" layer to give in more a toned down look.

is there a place to see examples???

I'm working updating the website soon to add some before and afters.

Another action junkie here as well. Just signed up and can't wait to download and see what you got going...thanks!!

Cool man!!

I will be posting all updates for PRO ACTIONS on my blog

Ksenia

Cool be sure to check out my blog for updates!

This looks like it's going to be awesome, Steve!

Question: I signed up around 6ish today and haven't gotten an email or anything... just wait or re-try? Just asking because I don't want to miss the beta spots if I messed it up somehow!


Thanks,
-Lindsey

Lindsey Send me a direct e-mail to getpa@getproactions.com if you have already signed up.
Some people are getting blocked do to SPAM filters.

Thank you for sharing, and glad to be of service! It makes sense now; I've tried it on a few more pics. I think what threw me at first were the instructions that said to paint back in the flesh tone, I glossed over the color part the first time.

gimme a minute and i'll post some examples.

Here's a few:

This one has the lomo actions (both)

PS--These are real quickies. They might not represent very well--I'm sure they could be played around with a lot more!

I like Mr. Perfect, Teech Bleaching and Vignette (especially running this one a couple of times on a picture) already. I will be playing with others, but I see a lot of fun possibilities already.

Thanks.



Lindsey, check your Spam folder. My was in Spam. I am glad I checked it before trashing everything.

Thanks Steve,
Have a pretty large collection of actions including my own... will let you know how you compare to the competition...
Stuart

OK,
So far... I have most of Kubota, Jeff and Julia Woods, DJs of course, and a few others. I have to say that Lomo color plus pop, Teeth Bleeching, Fire, Sin City, and Mr. Perfect ROCK! However the others are a bit week and need something else. Heavenly, and Transformers, blow out almost every time. Sharp doesn't do much, and the Lomo vignette is not enough of a statement. I am getting mostly vignette and no lomo. The fuzz is just not enough for me after working with other peoples glow. Anyway, that is my 2 cents. Best to you, looking forward to seeing more.
Stuart

THANK YOU!!! I love them they are awesome!

Could you post the original so we can see the difference?

Just signed up thanks so much I am excited to see them and play around...with the actions

Steve,
Thanks for the opportunity. Just sent my request and will check things out and let you know my thoughts!

Damion.

Cool tell me what you think!

Steve,

I dig them! I really enjoyed the readme, great humor =)

I'll put them to use tonight at the wedding I'm shooting and let you know how I like them!

-b

That is so cool!!! Tell me how it works out for you!!!

I was wondering if anyone would even read that "readme" file

I get an error on the signup. I can't get them. Help me out so I can try them.

'

Send an e-mail to getpa@getproactions.com we will get you the link

I got an error message as well, but sent you an email. Thanks so much for sharing these.

i got an error also but sent you an email. thanks for sharing

Thanks so much Steve! Those are great! I was playing around with them, and my favorite is Mr. Perfect (no, not my husband, the action ) . Thank you so much for sharing with us!!!!!!!!

For anyone else that might be getting an error please e-mail me @ getpa@getproactions.com


Thanks!!

So far I'm loving them!! although.... are there any instructions? I'm a bit confused bya couple of them. Teeth bleaching asks me to paint, but when I do, nothing happens. and the Rockwell one doesn't seem to "finish" it asks for a horizontal image, then "selects" it..... but not further prompts.

Steve,
Hey man these have some pretty saweet actions man. I'm with the majority on Mr. Perfect. That one just rocks man. Teeth bleaching is a very "clean" action for sure and I persoanlly like Super Fuzz. That one just makes things nice and easy.

This of course doesn't mean I don't like the rest. With layers and actions it so nice to be able to customize or use more than one to achieve the desired look each individual wants.

Thanks again for letting me be one of your beta testers.

There should be a "readme" file that came with the action set that will help with download and loading of the actions...

When using the" teeth bleaching" action be sure to be on your background image. It's a subtle action so you might not notice with one use.. If you need a stronger feel run the action again after you have painted in your teeth and flatten or merge your image layers.

I'm not sure what the "Rockwell" action is...that shouldn't part of my set.

Soooo Cool.. that's that type of input I 'm looking for!
thanks for testing them out... I'm only going to have these actions online for a few more hours... I have gone over 100 more testers then I had originally planed for so I'm going to stop taking testers after tonight.

Thanks to everyone that has joined the beta testing team!
I will be adding a PRO ACTIONS lab to the site www.getproactions.com so that folks can share actions and have a chance to win 300.00plus have their action included in the first version of PRO ACTIONS v1 coming out later this year!

I'm still waiting.
I registered my the web site and by the link.
All I got from send an e-mail to the posted address was a reply from the "lab tech" asking
"Hey dave did you sign up on www.getproactions.com?"

What gives?

Hello,



I read Steve’s post on Open Source photo and would like to sample these actions.



Regards,



Dave T.

If the site is working you should get an e-mail link from the server.
I just sent you a link manually so hopefully you get that.
IF you have any more problems just shoot me over an e-mail.

Steve...these are great...i've been playing around with them and I'm loving LOMO and Mr. Perfect! Thanks a million

Steve,
I just signed up about 30 minutes ago. Not pushing, just curious, how long does it take to get the link? Love your work by the way.

Mark

I will do that. You are awesome!!

It should come with in the first 30 minutes it's an automated system.. I'm leaving for LA in a few hours but if anyone is having problems like Mark is logging on just shoot me over an e-mail and I'll get you a link.
The upload link will be down for good in the next few hours because I have gone well over my intend beta testing group number....Thats a good think... Thanks to everyone that has joined on to help out!

CLOSED!!!!?????????????????????

DOH! I was WORKING THIS WEEKEND!!!!!

Yeah...I agree!
I use actions quite extensively in my workflow so it would have been nice to have been able to give back with some feedback.

Oh well, I guess if the results have been good from the other testers, I really can't complain.

I was processing a wedding this weekend. I used LOMO Color Bust for outside photos quite a bit. Really liked it, except that it made skin tone TOO red. I just painted some of it off in color mask. The Teeth Bleeching came in handy more than a few times too.

I never got the link
Did you send this to dave@sandavi.com?
