Download the Digital Photography for Moms ‘Oh, the Drama” free action for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements here:
Click here for instructions for installing actions in your version of Photoshop Elements.
This action works best on photos that have dramatic lighting. Remember to run it on a flattened image. A layer mask is included if you would like to mask out the drama from eyes or other areas.
Here are some examples of the action in use.

Thank you for your wonderful blog. Could you please direct me to some simple, step-by-step directions for applying textures in PSE8? I have downloaded some textures from coffeeshop, however when I go to apply them it tells me to open the action. I have no idea what I am doing. Thanks!
