The actions look like they make you images look worse. IMHO

Doesn't look like anything you couldn't do yourself in Photoshop in 30 secs or less.

My sister, the professional baker and cake decorator once told me that my camera takes great pics. My reply was that I thought her oven baked great cakes.:lol:

I would be more interested if you gave previews for more then one type of scene. You did that for many of the others already. But this one is supposed to be limited edition which should make it extra special.

And anyone who claims they can do this in 30 sec needs to quit hating. It's $.65 per action and costs about the same as buying her a frappe. I do think the Wish Makeup is a bit pricey but to each his own.

Not hating, just pointing out the obvious. But if you want to pay me $6 I'll show you how to get those results in photoshop. By your reasoning it's only $.65 per action so you should be able to afford it, correct? And with every other person or business selling actions for next to nothing at say 5,000,000 actions at an average cost of $.50 per action I am sure it's better to just buy them rather than learn how to do it yourself.;)

It just drives me crazy to see actions that make your images look worse than they did. Eventually this trend of using actions to make images look BAD will go away .. It makes you images look dated and in a bad way. *LOL* and to pay for a action to do this is even crazier !!!

I could get the same results myself but again not in 30 seconds. Nor would it be worth my time to spend an hour to make a set of my own actions. Not when they can be purchased for mere $6 which is less then minimum wage. I would rather support people who try to contribute useful things that might actually benefit others such as myself. If someone else wants to make their own version the actions and offer them for free nothing is stopping anyone from doing so.

As for not being fond of the styles we all have individual tastes. I have done web design work for clients (cheap as*es) that i would never want anyone to know was my pile of dung. I have also seen plenty of high dollar art that looked like someone drank paint and made themselves vomit on the canvas afterwards. While to me it might look like vomit other people might see a beautiful piece of art and pay an insane amount of money just to have a copy.
