why has your action for photoshop increased in price from 6 dollars 2 days ago to now 10 dollars? why give many people a chance to buy it for 6 then charge more to others? doesn't seem very reasonable even though your very talented at what you do.. i think the 6 dollars was a great price for something you created for free. has this Action changed to something better or newer version? please let me know just curious why the 4 dollar increase as i want to purchase one

hi there, sequence,

i think the $6 was an introductory price. $10 is cheap, imo. he's put a lot of work into perfecting this. don't forget, you'll get release upgrades (e.g. v5.1 to v5.2 etc) delivered to you as part of your purchase.

oh and shay didn't "develop this for free" he had to put a lot of time into this product, and his time is very valuable. as with all software, it's a big upfront investment in time, energy and brainpower...the replication is just electrons.

btw - his name is shay stephens...

good luck to you, i hope you do buy the action as it is a really good product.

I was admonished by a number of people that the asking price was too low. I am heeding their advice and experience for the time being.

The action was not developed for free however, there is cost involved both in the development and delivery. While versions 1-4 were offered for free, version 5 has never been offered for free.

"Created for free"... hmmmm.... So was Photoshop's first version. It's amazing to me the degree in which photographers' work is devalued. I mean, they'll spend 1,000 on a camera, pluse $100's on accessories, but then squabble over $4. I'm typeless, really. I think it should be $20! lol

Thanks Shay.

2 Big Macs, fries and a Soda - $10
Fancy coffee for 2 at Starbucks - $10
2 1/2 Titleist golf balls - $10
1/3 of a B+W UV filter - $10
Ability to run an Action as many times as you need it - priceless
The chances of you developing an Action as effective - 0

simple question as to why was all, so pay 10 instead of 6, customers says i'll pay 20 sell for 20.. it dont bother me none wondering as to why you were selling it for more, thought it could have been an updated action. but i guess not. ohwell. do u have copy rights to the action right now? so someone could buy one and sell it for a little cheaper you should do something about it.

The asking price will probably now be bumped up to $90. Just for you. ;-)

since it's the ONLY game in town........
you have the option of buying it or, not buying it!

In fact, if you ask me it was VERY nice of Shay to bother to even post this here in our forum. Let's not forget he's NOT obligated to post anything here and, he's also spent a great deal of HIS time creating and perfecting this action!!

Thankfully, my camera and lens combination do NOT exhibit any noticeable CA or PF ( in 99.9 %) that I even need an action to clean up with

Now, I'd just like to thank Shay for taking the time to share this with STF members.

You put two people into two different layers. You do channel mix and you get Shay Williams and Andy Stephens...

David_S85 · Feb 29, 2004

Amazing what Photoshop is able to do in accomplished hands. A scarier thought there never was! Hehehehe.

Reminds me of the movie "The Fly."

And there were also at least two Star Trek series shows about what the transporter could do when things go way wrong.

In any case, no matter who Shay Williams or Andy Stephens are, we're glad they are here among us STF'ers.

The illegitimate love child of Shay Stephens and Andy Williams!!! Imagine what a photographer he would be in he inherits even half of the skill, determination and above all enthusiasm of his two parents.

LOL
