CoffeeShop Sweet Bakery Glazes II Action!



Here are my newest free actions, CoffeeShop Sweet Bakery Glazes II. I have rewritten and improved the classic CoffeeShop Sweet Bakery Glazes. Now the action runs in both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. It is just one action that performs all of the above Glazes (adds a soft color and a glow) and you just turn on the eye icon of the Glaze you want, adjusting the opacity to taste. I love this action as your results can be as subtle as you wish. This action can be run on color or B&W images.

UPDATE!!!  I now have a new version of this action called "Sweet Bakery Hard Glazes" that does not have the glow effect.  This new version also has an optional Matte and Haze layer.  This new action set does not replace the one in this post, it is just a different type of edit.


Do you want to download thousands of professional CoffeeShop PSE/Photoshop actions (including exclusive ones not found anywhere for free), textures/overlaysscrapbooking papersclip art/design elementsphoto storyboards and frames, and Lightroom presets from this site in one convenient zipped file AND help support this one-woman blog?

  2. Thank you so, so much for these bakery glaze actions for PSE! Actions are the sole reason I've been contemplating the switch to CS3, but you are making it easy to stick with PSE.

    Thanks!!!

  5. Thank you so much for all of the new actions. I wanted to mention that I can't get this one to work in PSE6. Says that it's "not compatible with this version of photoshop."

    I LOVE THESE!!! Thank you again so very much!

  8. Those of you that are having issues installing them in PSE, it is my fault! It has been fixed now, but if you downloaded it before this morning, the action .atn file was not named the exact same thing as the icon .png or .psd files, so it won't work. Either add the word CoffeeShop to the beginning of the action file name, or just download the newest vesion here! I am so sorry I made it so difficult, I do this late at night when I have time and the later it is the more stupid I am!!! Rita

  12. Thank you also oh so much. You have made my Elements so usable, I tried CS4 the other day and like Elements so much more, mostly because of you. I just wanted you to know that I tried downloading this today and was unable to. It says that the site is not found.

  19. Would love to download this Sweet Bakery Glazes II Action, but the mediafire download doesn't work (after clicking start download). Do you also have it on 4shared ?
    The same problem seems to happen on your CoffeeShop Vintage action.
    Thanks.

  24. Your actions are wonderful and I love them. Just one little problem...I save them to my computer and unzip them, no problem. They are in .atn, so I go to change it to .png. But PSE says its unreadable and its very frustrating! I'm sure I'm missing something totally obvious but i'd love for someone to point it out ;)
