How do you get from this photo:
to this one?
Try this:
- DPM Free Defog Action

- Run Unsharp Mask times 2
- Add a Subtle Vignette
Click here for info on installing actions in Photoshop Elements.
Run the Lab Color Boost on a flattened image (that means your image should only have one layer whose name is Background). When you finish running the image, the Color Boost will be on the Color Layer. You can modify it’s opacity if it’s too bright.
You won’t need to change the Luminosity or Composite layers. A layer mask is included – this action won’t look great on skin, so you will probably need to mask out any people who appear in the picture. Flatten your image when edits are complete.

Your actions are wonderful. Thank you for your instructions and for your generosity.
Can I put these actions into cs5? And if so are there instructions here for that??
Sarah, I haven’t tested all these actions in CS5, but I’m 99% sure they will work. Loading them is exactly the same as the CS4 link on this page.
