CoffeeShop Downtown Photoshop Action and Frame!
I love Instagram and one of my favorite filters is Earlybird. So I decided to write an action inspired by Earlybird and came up with CoffeeShop Downtown. I even include a little frame (a png file, not an action) that you can use with the edit to get the rounded corners affect.
If you have Instagram you might wonder if it would be worth having this action. I say yes. CoffeeShop Downtown is fully adjustable, unlike Instagram filters.
This action has quite a few layers, but I didn't flatten it so you could play with them and get your own perfect edit.
I love using this action on B&W images. It adds a beautiful color/contrast/painterly effect.
I wanted to compare the original Instagram Earlybird edit to my own version. My version has a little less contrast (which you can bump up after running the action). And do you see my cute frame? I scanned in some watercolor paper and included it in the download. Just open it and slip a square-cropped image behind it.
