Picture in Picture action

Posted 1 year, 5 months ago by Graffi | | 296 views | Technorati

This Photoshop / Elements action was inspired by a Dave Cross tutorial I read somewhere or another. It duplicates your image within itself, adds a backscreen effect for you to add some text, and slightly blurs and desaturates the original background image - and best of all, all of these things are left editable by you when the action finishes.

If you use Add-O-Matic, it finishes with the option to create a thumbnail. I think I need to make an “Add-O-Matic-friendly!” icon for these specially made ones.

By the way, if you don’t use Add-O-Matic, you can still add this action. Just click “stop” when it prompts you about creating a thumb.



Download removed; look for it in Glam Photo 3

    Graffi, like the new action. It is going to be fun playing with. Have 2 questions,,first one on your rounded edges action when it prompts me for a thumbnail, I click on stop because I don’t want one it then reverts back to the orginal image. No rounded edges. Second question is more like a request, in this thread http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27167, there is a image done in a certain way. Is there a way you could create an action to do this. Just wondering, thought maybe you would like a challenge.

    Whoops - Rounded Edges is fixed - you can grab it here:

    or in the regular posting where it first appeared (I updated the set).

    I’ll see what I can come up with for the second. Looks like just a lot of selecting and transforming layers, with maybe a gradient added for depth.
