Thanks for voting in my poll, and new CoffeeShop actions/templates on their way!

Thanks everyone for voting on my poll, it really helps me figure out what I want to do next. It seems that the "easy to find frames for" templates are quite popular, as are CoffeeShop actions. So those are what I will concentrate on next. Don't hesitate to make comment on my posts on certain specific actions/tutorials/templates you would like to see me do in the future. I love getting suggestions and I really enjoy reading your comments.

I will be posting more templates in the next days and I have rewritten the CoffeeShop Bakery Glazes action, which will be up here a day or two. It will now run in Photoshop AND Photoshop Elements and it is now similar to CoffeeShop Vivid where you run just one action and it applies multiple Glaze layers on your image, and you just turn on the layer you want. You can also customize the Glazes effect by dialing it down to make it more subtle (an important improvement that makes this new action so much better).

I will also be releasing Coffeeshop Pretty Portrait soon, my rewrite of CoffeeShop PowderRoom, which has all of the effects of PowderRoom with additional goodies like color pop. It is a basic workflow action for portraits and is completely customizable. I am also working on some really nice toned B&W actions.

I have so many ideas for different actions and tutorial and custom templates, and I will be posting them over the next weeks and months, so please keep me bookmarked!

I hope you all had a great weekend and now will be refreshed and ready to edit your weekend photos. Thanks again for popping in and I look forward to seeing what you have done over at my Flickr Group http://www.flickr.com/groups/coffeeshopfreeactions/ . And if I haven't answered your specific questions in the comments section of my blog, I am so sorry! It has been hard to get to everyone and I know I sometimes miss questions. You can also post your question over at my Flickr Group to have the resident CoffeeShop experts (including me) help you out or email me at coffeephotolove@yahoo.com .

If it is an action installation question that involves Photoshop Elements, any version, or anything to do with Macs (which I think are great computers but I know nothing about) please check my Installing Actions menu link on the top of my blog. If you have already tried that and it has not helped, you can post your questions at the CoffeeShop Flickr Group mentioned above, or the PSE group http://www.flickr.com/groups/pse/ where there are many helpful experts (that actually know what they are talking about, unlike me half the time ;-) )If you feel that I have missed your question or email, please try again!
