I’m not really one for a lot of Photoshop work or fancy special effects.  When we edit images, I prefer that they be clean, crisp, and bright, but not overly processed.  I’m all about subtle effects for retouching and skin smoothing (no one wants plastic skin!).

By the same token, our album designs are clean and classic.  We don’t tend to have a lot of overlapping images, fades, colors, lines, and so forth.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t like to play around now and then.  Every once in a while I find an effect or an action that I think might be kind of fun in an album design or for a special offering.  This is one of them.  The action itself is from PanosFX and is one of the 30 or so free actions that they offer.

It’s fun, huh?  I don’t know that I’d use it all the time, but I can see it as an opening page in one of our couple’s albums.  Just to play!
