After reading the thread about the second set of TRAs, I just had to get them. So now I've been playing with them all night and I thought I'd share a couple transformations I did to a couple pics I was working on...

And then here is the Layer Info:

(I'm sure there has to be an easier way to do this one, but this is how I got there anyhow...)

Now Let Me See Yours!!!

Fantastic work! Before and Afters always help so much to see an artist's progression!
Thanks for sharing those!

Wow those are great! And I love how you posted the "How I got there" screen snaps too! I don't have the second set of actions and probably won't for a while, but you're making me want to prioritize them as a purchase!

Thanks guys... no problem

I'm a photoshop addict.

Candace - No they aren't recipes, I just kind of kept clicking actions until I liked what I got...

The only thing I have to say I don't like about the actions is all the weird names, I love the fun they had with them, but have a hard time understanding what some of them actually do. I feel like I need a code book sometimes!

Robert - THOST FLARE SHOTS ARE AWESOME!!! I have yet to master flare...

For me I loved the first set, but wanted more vintage looks to my images, and this second set lets me do just that. I'm also loving the "smooth-o'matic" action for higher ISO photos! The new black and white actions are also oh so yummy!

Beautiful. I love the B&W and the one in front of the painting.

You know you are entering late in the game when they come out with a new TRA not too long after you buy the first set. So I have plenty of work to do on my first set before I'll be buying these. Perhaps I'll purchase rigggght before TRA 3 comes out.
