Doug did what he said and created an even more powerful set of actions! They are absolutely great and very adjustable. This set has more toning actions...both B/W and color and some nice sharpening actions. This set is very well thought out and executed. If you love the first set, then you'll definitely love this set. The PDF that comes with, is excellent...it does a fabulous job of explaining and showing you almost all aspect of each action individually. This is in addition to the original Totally Rad Set, not a redo or anything. I like it better and technically (designing actions-wise) it is better, but it is it's own set and can't be compared to the first set, they both have kick-ass actions! This will be hard to beat!
BUY THEM NOW!!!!

are we allowd to just give out the code to anyone? i was kinda thinking about this earlier - the discount is only for those who purchased the first set - how do we know you purchased the first set - can you prove it???

Hey Tami are you trying them with the suggested Get Faded actions first? I tried the Get Faded Summer (ran first) and then added the Dirty Diana and it worked.

Ayesha's right - they were meant to be run in conjunction with an action that tweaks the levels as well... we decided to split up the color tweaks and the grunge effect because it allows for more combinations... most textures have both kinda built-in, but it means less options. Let me know if that doesn't work for whatever reason... got another email that was similar, so I think it's just a matter of us getting the info out there on how they're supposed to work...

http://www.jessicaclaire.netThanks for posting these, I was on the fence about getting the new set cause it seems like less actions for the same than the first one... but after seeing your before and afters- I had that same moment of... that's what I think the picture looks like in my head.

well i just got off the phone with doug. we figured out what the problem is and i bet it could happen to one of you too!
my foreground and background colors were set to something other than black and white. once we reset them (i pressed 'd') it reset and i ran the dirty actions again and all is well!
thanks doug!
