Nice.

You *should* be able to view the actions and/or step through it (if you're using Photoshop).

Yeah, i'd like to know what the actions called too.
klr, wouldn't be possible to upload some of your more interesting actions would it? I've only recently started using actions on a regular basis and currently only have 3 (excluding the default ones obviously)

Best wishes
John

its part of the 'totally rad actions' they are sold on his website, so I am sure I would be breaking some agreement if I gave them out. google will turn them up for you.

I'd like to know if Photoshop is the only software that allows you to use actions... also, about your shot... it's pretty cool but the face of the kid on the left hand side is too bright, almost unnatural, the brightness blew all the pink on the face away... I think actions do work, but sometimes you need to tweak them a little bit too...

The gimp uses scripts that are similar to actions. They can be found by googling fxfoundry. They are not as editable as the actions are but still fun.

Briandee I like the cross processing effect on the after image
