Thank you for your interest in a custom photoshop action. Here you will find some examples of some actions that I have build along with some rules I go by and some cans and cannot of our actions.
First the Rules.
There are some rules that I follow when designing actions.
- keep it simple.
this action will be played on all of your photos on your blog and so you want something simple thats not going to be overwhelming to see over and over again.
- color or no color.
Every image in different. your logo color might not always work with the image so I usually stick with a white or black logo depending on the colors of your branding.
The Cans and Cannots of our Actions
Here are the Cans and Connots of the actions that I build. they are made to resize and customize to make blogging easier and to make your blog look better. they are not made to do any “edits” to your photos.
Cans
1. Saving for web
2. rounded corners (as big or as small as you need)
3. adds name
4. adds logo
5. adds web
6. putting 2 images side by side
7. chooses color for a logo or bottom bar.
Cannot
1. edit the image in any way other than sharpening.
2. Make a photo collage.
