Free Black & White Action Set for Photoshop *

I am happy to announce that I will be offering a series of free actions for Adobe Photoshop, starting with Poetic, a set of creative black and white actions. The actions have been tested in Photoshop CS2 and higher. You are welcome to try them in earlier versions of PS, or PSE, but I’m not sure if they will work! After you download the actions, join this new group on Flickr I created for my actions: Dear Crissy Actions.

The actions are free for you to use personally, or commercially, but should not be re-sold in any way. I would very much appreciate a link back to DearCrissy.com if you use them, and a tweet of this post (via the tweet meme thing above) would be great!

Here are a few examples of the action in use:

I hope you enjoy the actions, and stay tuned for more posts relating to photography, and more freebies too!

      I honestly don't know about PSE, Suzanne. Never used it. You're welcome to try it though!

    I love these. I use pastoral and epitaph the most. Sometimes I'll even take the "black and white" off of the pastoral and just use the color enhancements. Great stuff! If you ever make a color set of actions…you can count on me buying them.
