I know some people dont like to pay for acitons, and I used to be that way until I realized that the free actions were really sub par (most of them) and so I paid $45 for my first set of professional actions. I think that especially when you are using actions for business things (such as when you are a professional blogger or using them on product photography) it's really not that much money in the long run, and I really enjoy supporting other independent business owners. As you know, working in the creative industry is difficult financially, so I try to do little things to generate revenue for new projects, and that's really how the action set got started. Also, I try to include various options in the set and always work with people if they have difficulty or want an action tweaked more to their liking.<br />Anyway... didn't mean to write a book! ;)Mandi Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852544607989181915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-61861161632173030292010-07-07T11:30:07.643-05:002010-07-07T11:30:07.643-05:00I love actions I can't live with out them... w...I love actions I can't live with out them... well I could but it would take longer. =) <br /><br />I use Pioneer Woman's actions a lot (Bonus: They are FREE!) http://thepioneerwoman.com/photography/2009/08/pioneer-woman-action-sets-1-and-2-updated/<br /><br />PS. 9AM??
