New B&W action - 03-21-2006, 07:50 PM


I created another B&W action using the color mixer and some color values to mimic the use of color filters on B&W film. These values were pulled off another site so they're not mine, but I put them all together for easy use. You can also use the "All" action to apply all the color filters and then pick the one you like best (by making the layers hidden or visible). I believe this is full photoshop only, sorry to the elements people.

Here's an example, not the best subject but you'll get the point:

Original:


Red Filter:


Green Filter:


Blue Filter:


Yellow Filter:


Orange Filter:


Yellow-Green Filter:


And finally the action:

You should append Evil to the front of the atn files you give out, like Evil-B&W-Action.atn.
Just so when I load it I know it is from your set of actions

Thanks and I cannot wait to try this one out.

easily done... just rename to "Evil Steve's B&W Filters" (for example) before loading into CS2

Thanks, Steve!
