Cross-processing, briefly, is a photographic technique where (usually) slide film (E6) is processed in the set of chemicals usually used to process print film (C41). (Less common is cross-processing in the other direction -- print film processed in slide film chemicals) The result is images with oddly skewed colors and increased contrast and saturation. The problem we're running into now, however, is that this process depends on shooting with film. What happens if you're one of the photographers who have made the jump to digital? Well, for those who use the digital like me, and like this technique, I created the Cross-Processing Action.

The BIG PICTURE is a Photoshop action that will make an image look as a collage made up of 25 individual photographs that are layed down in a 'slightly untidy manner'.

This little action lets you apply the classic weave effect on your images. Actually, there is much more in it than the weaving effect! By customizing the weaving size and texture you can create endless combinations.

Painterly Photoshop action.

I spent some time yesterday looking around Adobe Exchange for an action to make some images look old and distressed. I downloaded a few, but wasn’t real happy with them, so I ended up writing my own action (not to say mine is perfect, but it did what I wanted).

This action will give your image a vintage appearance as if it is from the early 1900's. It will only work on an image on a background layer.

The B&Big Picture combines two of my popular actions: the versatile "Big Picture" action with the eye-catching B&B techniques. At the end your image is turned to a very impressive collage made up by 25 different photos. Each one of these photos has a bordered style and appears to be slightly curved.

Don't settle for ordinary text -- make it super! Here's an effect to help you do just that. This is actually an action set comprised of 6 different actions. The first creates the generic superhero text, the second gives a thinner 3-D effect, and the third takes the 3-D text into the distance. The last three actions are "Modifiers". These actions create a different effect on the action you've already run. However, you must stop the text effect as directed (at the prompt which asks whether or not to continue and merge layers) in order to run the Modifier actions. I must say that credit for this action should not go entirely to myself. I was inspired by the very good tutorial at www.celoxdesign.net. In fact, I basically ripped it off and put it into action form -- with, of course, some of my own tweaks and changes. The effects themselves can be customized quite extensively, including font, distortion, location and size of highlight, and color of the text. In addition, you'll have the option of keeping the effect unmerged so you can fiddle around with the layer styles or run the Modifier actions..

This is a complex Photoshop action that will create a hand-held fan using one of your images. Make sure you run the action on images of landscape orientation.

This is similar and improved version of my old action. Action includes: Ageing; Colour; Cracks; Bending and as a bonus Old Paper Style. Please read the Instructions first, before you run the action. Free for personal use, for commercial please do ask.Thank you! SUPPORT INFORMATION: 1. Put the .ATN file in a directory of your choice. It does not need to be in the Photoshop directory. 2. Choose Load Actions from the Actions palette menu. 3. Select the action set file from die directory you saved it. 4. Click Load. 5. Play it. +++TIP! If you want to see all the steps in the action and learn something (actions are great learning tools) or make manual adjustments.

The 'Discrete' actions give you another interesting tool to make your images visually more appealing. What is also interesting about this set is that the actions make use of smart filters. Therefore CS3 users will be able to readjust the amount of blur on the shadow, when the action finishes.
