Today, Ree (a.k.a. The Pioneer Woman) shared the first set of Photoshop actions in her blog. After an initial misstep which left me glaring at my PC for a few minutes trying to will it to cooperate, I finally got the set to load. I couldn’t wait to start playing.
I literally took the first photo I could find on my external drive. Which was this shot I took from my mom’s balcony a few months back. I quickly hurled a few of Ree’s actions at it, adjusting opacity here and there, and came up with this.

This is going to be fun. And my house will slowly develop a layer of dust and possibly relocate in protest of the continued neglect as I spend the next few months glued to my computer.
If you want to join me in my downward spiral, head over to Ree’s photography section and download the actions. And be prepared to live on a diet of food products that you can eat while still leaving one hand on the mouse.
I wonder if I have enough straws in the kitchen.
Wow, what a difference!! The photo was nice before, but the “after” is just gorgeous.
Too bad I use PaintshopPro and can’t use any actions.
Must.Get.Home.And.Play!

Umm…where did the NAPP thingy come from?
Shrewie, I lied. I didn’t play after that first photo. I suddenly remembered I had to prune the fruit trees out in the back, and because I started working with my iPod blasting in my ear, I became uncharacteristically motivated to do more yard work. Plus, I think the blood-curling fear I felt when the ladder I was standing on wobbled slightly managed to give me temporary amnesia regarding all things Photoshop.
I got the NAPP thingy here. It was always on my blogroll, but I guess the old theme just didn’t display it properly.
I did get some photos outside, though. Like I said, the amnesia was temporary.
Wow-wee! I’m usually an SOOC fan, but that is a fabulous difference.
