Johnna's Memories of Sunshine PS/PSE Action!



OK, I have to admit the images seen above are not mine!  So I was getting my Flickr fix when I came open the image I posted above. Wow, not only were the before/after stunning, but Johnna included a step-by-step tutorial! I get really excited when I see photographers sharing, so I emailed her and asked if I could make her tutorial into an action and post it up here. And she said YES!

So here it is, a new free action designed and generously donated by Johnna LaFaith, converted to an action by me! I hope you guys love Johnna's Memories of Sunshine enhancement as much I do. If you want to see what the action does, step-by-step, page down for the Action UnWrapped tutorial.

Johnna's Memories of Sunshine PS/PSE Action UnWrapped!

Here is Johnna's action taken apart.

Steps
1) Add Layer, Solid Color, Orange (b76e0f) set to screen at 74% opacity.
2) Add Layer, Solid Color, Navy Blue (040747) set to exclusion at 100% opacity.
3) Add Layer, Solid Color, Brown (1e1203) set to color at 44% opacity.
4) Click on Background layer, Ctrl-J to duplicate. Set to soft light blending mode and drag on top of all of the layers. This is the Contrast Boost layer. Turn off for a hazy image, turn on and adjust opacity for added contrast.
5) The action can be run again for additional enhancements. It automatically flattens the image before running. :-)



Did I mention I LOVE this action? Thank you so much Johnna!

    Great action! Thanks for sharing. I'm fairly new at this, I am using elements 9. On step four, where it says "drag on top of all of the layers" what does this mean? I tried to drag the background copy on top of each layer, but nothing happend. I'm sorry if it is a weird question, I just wasn't sure how to carry out that step.
