Graffishop Facelift – new look & functionality & ACTIONS!

The facelift-slash-upgrade-slash-reinvention of the Graffishop has been a much larger undertaking than I thought it would be. But these things always are, aren’t they?

If you want a sneak peek, here’s a screen grab of the work-in-progress:

Graffishop151Scrn

Finally getting it integrated with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest & this here blog.

I’m also revamping the checkout & join up pages, and at long last – upgrading everything in there with a few new actions, some new graphics and a whole slew of new functionality.

Love to get me some feedback – anyone willing to toss in their two cents?

Hipster[VintageKit] now available, with a coupon code!

Graffi’s Hipster[VintageKit] is now out, with versions for automatic or manual installation for Photoshop and Elements, Mac & Windows editions!

hipstervintage-kit250

As a bonus, if you checkout before March 31st you can use the coupon code 232b5ea449 you can take 20% off your entire shopping cart!

Here’s a demo video, showing the actions that tap into the new, secret  Adjustment Layer actions in Photoshop Elements 11.  They also work super in Photoshop, CS3+. if you choose the Elements 11 Installer package, the actions and scripts are all installed for you and you’re ready to start using them in minutes!

A complete listing of the actions in this set is on the Hipster[VintageKit] page.  Hope you’ll check them out and offer some feedback!

New Photoshop Adjustment Layers in Photoshop Elements 11

A fun secret about Photoshop Elements 11: some Photoshop Adjustment Layers can be used in Elements!

Specifically, Black and White, Color Balance, Exposure and Selective Color adjustments can be added with the actions downloadable below.  Note that these will only be available for limited time! They will be included in the updated Handy Actions set early in 2013. Add-O-Matic will be updated to allow for sharing and loading presets that these adjustment layers create. (AOM already supports Channel Mixer- .cha – and Curves – .acv – files, as well as Lightroom presets.)

The caveat to these actions is that the adjustments can only be made while the action opens the dialog; once it’s committed, you cannot go back and edit the settings without running the action again. Also, these additional adjustment layers will only work with Elements 11.

However, the layer mask the adjustment creates is editable – you can edit it to your heart’s content!

These actions are going to be an integral part of the new line of actions from the Graffishop, starting with Hipster (look for it in January 2013)

The actions in the download above are easily added using Add-)-Matic, or you can manually load them in to Elements 11.

personally, I’d get an Add-O-Matic, though……  :)

New Hipster Effects Pack samples

Just uploaded the new gallery of candidate Hipster effects:

Graffi’s new Hipster Action fx set, + javascript.

all effects create a duplicate image with all layers intact, and install a javascript for simple square cropping – a hallmark of the Hipster look.

Feedback requested!

Graffi’s Hipster first release – .jsx script for cropping square and an action to run it

Original

Hipster!

The square crop

is a hallmark of the latest style in digital pictures: retro, Instagram-ish, hipster looking images. However, cropping an image to a perfect square is actually pretty tricky to pull off, programming speaking. Automating the process is impossible to do without a program to do the math for you.

The javascript below (shown in the screenshot to the left) can be used in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.

Photoshop users can just browse and load the script as needed (or save it to [SrcDrv]/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS#/Presets/Scripts and it will appear in the Scripts menu).

Photoshop Elements users aren’t so lucky. To run the script, you can drag and drop it directly into the Elements workspace, or it can be called from an action.

The download below also includes an action that will call the script, but it requires a specific installation path: Windows users should install the javascript to C:\Graffi Photoshop Scripts\CropSquare.jsx (it MUST be this folder, otherwise the action won’t find it). I’m also going to reference this folder as a repository for future scripts and action set installers, so if you like the Graffi stuff, this is a good place to start.  (As an additional note, Add-O-Matic will be updated to handle javascript (*.jsx) files, and AOM will put them in this folder by default, too.) Installation instructions are included in the .zip download (or grab an Add-O to install the actions, and manually place the javascript in the folder referenced above)

Finally, I’m also including the first Hipster action that utilizes this javascript – a sample image is above.

*MAC USERS: I’d love to find out where to place the javascript on your system so I can update the action.

A short tutorial on using the new actions is coming up next!

How to use your Add-O-Matic for Elements

Add-O-
Matic
is quite probably the easiest to use utility for Photoshop Elements that’s out there. There are no knobs to twist, sliders to slide or settings to adjust – you just launch it, drag in your goodies, and let it put everything away for you.

Check out this video to see for yourself how simple it really is to add actions, layer styles, brushes, color swatches, and a variety of other Photoshop goodies!
