PS Actions

[krista]

Every post I read lately seems to mention some PS action that is used. How do you find all of these? I would love to know what actions you use - what are the favourites out there? Any freebies? There was some freebies posted recently but no Mac versions - so sad. Thanks!

Though you have to pay for them, the Kubota Actions (http://www.kubotaworkshops.com/products.php) are about the best action set that I've found. I use them every wedding.

Also, one of the most useful PS tools that I've come across is not an action, but a script:

Thanks guys - I know I'm asking for the big secrets. Feel like you're sharing the recipe for the Colonel's 11 herbs and spices or how they got the caramilk in the caramilk chocolate bar... very much appreciated!! Can't wait to try them all out!

Writing own actions: Takes VERY LONG!!!
