Anybody have this? Why is there a superhero on the front? I was thinking about getting Vol. 2.

I couldn't find any examples, either. Isn't that weird that they would be selling a product, but not let you see what it is?? :confused:

I have Vol. 2 also, And find them very useful.

The only information I could find on Vol. 3 was the Written Descriptions in PDF Format. (external link)

Based solely on what I read, I don't really see anything of great interest on there. But I'll hold from making a final judgment until I see Image Examples

Many of those look like variations of some in the first two paks. Many of them I have already recorded myself, in CS2, from processes found in books.

I have 1 & 2. I find that I use #2 the most. 1 has a lot of B&W actions.

Heading to Kubota RIGHT NOW to check #3 out!

Can anyone post an example of an image using a kubota action?

Thanks,

I second islands request - or at least a link to volume 2's artistic pack's examples since volume 3 examples aren't available. Thank you, in advance, for any references.

I've seen that before. I like them, but the changing border is distracting.

I really like those as well, except I dont really care for the Portrait example, but maybe for some images it could work. I'm not spending $149, though. $100 would be pushing it, but I'd possibly buy it for that.

Misleading would probably be more accurate...

Like I stated above, I do have vol. 2 and I really like the actions, most of them w/ little to no further PP... But I was hesitant to purchase them (They're not cheap) because I too couldn't get a good "feel" for what they actually did, because they went from a white to black border.. It was too distracting a change on the eye.

Fortunately they turned out to be worth the cost.

I have heard Vol. 1 is pretty lame all and all, not nearly as useful as Vol. 2

The B&W Conversions on Vol. 2 are outstanding.

Here is a recent post I made w/ images PP using The Kubota actions

That's what I thought, but I was able to see past the distracting borders and think they're pretty good as well. Those tattoo flowers are popular.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link! Most of them look absolutely great! I really like "hawaiian punch"! So what's the best way to purchase these actions?

Thanks again for all of the examples!
