Finding Actions
Action Central now subdivides full descriptions and examples of actions into six categories in the left-hand navigation, "Actions by Category." You can still browse through the entire list of actions on our quicklinks page or find them cross- referenced by developer.
Silver Efex Pro presets
Nik Software offers dozens of free presets for Silver Efex Pro. If you are new to this great tool, you can download a free trial version. If you decide to buy, be sure to enter "atncentral" at checkout for 15% discount.
Topaz presets
In association with the Flickr Topaz group, we are pleased to offer presets for use in Topaz Labs Adjust Photoshop plug-in.
Panotools Scripts
Thanks to Joel Karnofsky, ActionCentral is hosting its first PanoTools lens correction script. If others are available, we are happy to include them and, if we receive several more, will move them to their own page. PanoTools is a free plug-in.
Feedback and Action Submission
I welcome feedback or submissions via email. If submitting actions or presets, please send the file, a brief description, and, if possible, before and after examples. We are particularly interested in hearing your results running actions on this set in Photoshop Elements. Please notify us of those that work for you and which version of Elements you are running. We will list compatibility on the site.
