T had to work the rare overnight last night so I had the house to myself. I took advantage of the peace and quiet to play around on the computer without any interruptions. I'd been wanting to try out some of the free actions I downloaded a while back. Nothing crazy fancy, just some simple color adjustments to get a little closer to a pro look. I tried out quite a few, but most were too wacky for my taste. But there were a bunch that I think I will definitely hang onto. Just for kicks, I thought I'd share. All of these are available free. I think most of them are from ActionCentral. You can probably google for the ones that aren't.
Here is the original pic. It was a bit dark and also had a reddish cast to it.
I did a little tweaking to the curves to brighten it up, and I also did a defog, but nothing else major.
Here's the first set of afters (click on the image to see it larger). From left, Midnight Sepia, Black & Color, and Barely Vintage.
Set 2: Urban Acid, Bloom, and Lomo.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizLa7hJEFTxlwJgh931iWzztVfatT2w3xAMf6mP9baKDxzmjU1OVL3JQN68_m-bs4VRrgLWusZJAIt11xWK88zASkGXHTsGqnskp_0TUitUL6gVnB0SvS4q2SqXOxn5NPqQktsxjDtMuXa/s320/actions_set1.jpg)
