Post Your Best Hayes Island Effect Pixs Here

Eightlake,

It's really quite easy. Open Photoshop...open any pic you want...now click on the action so that it opens....but don't run it. Now go pick the effect that you want to change the default on....say Palette Knife...it is set for 10,3,0...set it to whatever you want your new default to be..and press ok. For example purposes...set it to 1,1,0...press ok. Now go over to the edit menu and choose undo palette knife....so that it won't affect your picture. Now run the action and see what the default is when the palette knife comes up.....it should be the 1,1,0.

Now if you want to make this default permanent...click the action closed...highlight the main action....Bud's Actions....now click the arrow in the upper right...scroll down to save actions, and save the action in the photoshop actions folder in photoshop.....the same place that you installed it to in the first place. You can at this time rename it to anything you want so that both copies are available. You can, of course, put your name on it if you like if it makes it easier to find for you.

Also, the little stop messages that pop up can be eliminated. They were put there for your convenience so that you would know what is happening. While you have the action open and you are modifying it.....just click the little arrow to the left, when there is no arrow, that step doesn't run. Once you've ran the program a few times you might not need the information....again I put them there as a help. You people that have the latest action will notice when looking at the paint action that I have unclicked the little arrow next to image size....it used to change the image size....I stopped that just by unclicking the arrow. Also,(this is really getting geeky of me) next to the arrow box is another little box. With that box highlighted it tells the program to stop and let you adjust the settings...if you unhighlight that box the program will just run and do it's own, defaulted thang.

And as we always say save and save often.

I hope this helps, any other questions and I'll give them my best shot.

I like it...something again about boats and water...I might have chosen a little less canvas.....but where's your signature?...have you tried it yet?...it's a little cumbersome...it does have a lot of little messages....but now you know how to get rid of them.

Oh and a border?

Thanks Bud,

I have a summer place not too far away. I just retired in Sept, and I am expecting to spend a lot of time there this summer. I want to thank you for taking the time to share your implementation of the HI action. I had some problems with my computer updatinf DP Review, and I thought the original post did not work. That is why there are two copies. I have another beach scene that I will post shortly.

Ed, very nice...gives a kind of a soft vacation feel..

Ed, that just jumped way up on my list of favorites....it's beautiful. I liked the first, but hesitated to say that I'd wished for a little clouds in the sky. I have a thing for the blue with clouds....it fills in the pic for me.

But this second one is just stunning.

Thanks for sharing it.

To all who have already posted, thank you for sharing - I have downloaded each of the images to my computer for a delightful slide show.
Here's my contribution. Antique coffee milling machinery.
The shot was dreadfully boring before adding this effect.
