I liked the Denim ones in particular because I had a feeling they'd help me to bring out the gorgeous blue eyes of The Girl - and I knew just the photograph to try it on:
I also liked the various different 'web photo' finishes, drop shadow, frame and rounded corners:
And the clever 'magic sunset', which turned an ordinary daytime shot into a soft, warm sunset:
Yep, I'm a convert - just call me Action Woman... ;-)

Action Woman .... very catchy! That sunset action is quite remarkable, did you tweak it as you went along or is that just how it ran?
I'm not going to say TG is the cutest little button in those photos ... no, not me, she didn't hear those words from me at all ;-) Is she letting her guard down by posing with flowers .... where is the pirate get up?
Amy - I tweaked the sunset very slightly; the action comes with the instructions to adjust the settings, for example by painting out the blue sky (as otherwise the red looks 'muddy'), and increasing or decreasing the red and/or the glow :-)
Oh, and the pic of The Girl was taken for a layout I had published a few years ago - she's actually wearing a skirt in that photo as well as holding flowers - she looks back on that photo with disgust!!
Stunning Mel! Playing with actions can become quite addicting :)
I have just found the coffee shop blog too! its fab isn't it?! I've had so much fun playing around! your results are wonderful and I love the way you've displayed the photos! Abi xxx
I was expecting a post like this after your previous action post LOL
so have you got your serious combats on today then, i can just see you mouse in hand, combats and actions commanding the photoshop to do as you say, ''Sir yes sir''.
Loving the Girl pictures, she's so pretty any way but these just give her an ethereal edge. The sunset picture is brill, I'm gonna donwload that one next I think

Looks like you are having fun with is package. Great photos!!!
A skirt? And flowers? And she let you put it on your blog? That girl deserves a £1 a week rise in pocket money! Great photos, and thanks for sharing all those special effects. I think I need to get experimenting!
Love the Action collages love the look of some of them, thanks for showing them.

I do actually think you're Action Woman, you seem to fit so much into your days ;) However, the actions you're talking about are fantastic! I got some a little while ago and find I have my favourites that I use over and over. I've recently got Lightroom 3 and now I'm starting to look at the presets for that too (like actions for PS and PSE).
Magic sunset is amazing - it is indeed magic!
Love your comments on the pix of the girl here in comment land!
LOL!

Loving the sunset action. I know I like to do the individual steps by myself a lot of the time, but boy, that's awesome!
