I love Sara's actions too!

I have the Totally Rad Actions (by Doug Boutwell, who helped Pioneer Woman with her set) and they are really well done and versatile. They are expensive, I had to ask for them for Christmas last year. My extended family thought I was crazy.

Definitely download their sample ones - they are free!

 

For some reason I just use Sarah's Prime Time action on pretty much every photo now. I'm too lazy to go beyond that.

 

I have so many actions. Waaayyyy to many. I adore vintage so these are the ones I go to over and over again:

Florabella Actions

lilyblue Actions

I also use Sarah's The Photographers Toolbox quite a bit.

Next on my list is:

Totally Rad listed above

IttyBitty

MCP actions

 

i have saras too and love them

 

Ditto, ditto, ditto. Florabella's textures are amazing too! I've had a lot of fun with them.

 

Yes, they are so yummy although I am still learning about textures so I am not that great with them yet.

 

Yeah, I'm wearing out Sarah's actions. They're so fun to play with.

 

i have virtual photographer (they're free) and use the crap out of them. some day, i'll end up actually using PS and get some from Totally Rad and Eye Candy.

 

Thank you for reminding me. I totally forgot about Sheye's Eyecandy actions. She is one amazing photographer and I love her vintage look.

 

I also forgot about Childs Play actions. If you want clean and high color these look amazing. They are also on my list, which seems to grow everyday.

 

renee - i have always used PSP

oh yah childs play are nice, too - have had those bookmarked for a while!

 

I don't use any as all the ones I have seen don't work in my old, crappy PS7
But I have heaps of fun playing around myself with blend modes and stuff!

 

Depending on my mood (read: how lazy I am at that particular moment) I go back and forth between LR presets, PS actions or a combo of both. I totally love LR and what it can do, but I'm an action junky at heart and, whenever I have the time, I love to play around with different ones.

So, I'm another one who is really loving a lot of Sarah's actions.

I'll also second lilyblue.

And I absolutely love Nichole Van's actions!

(lilyblue and Nichole Van both have fab LR presets too btw!)

I've been wanting to try some Totally Rad Actions, and there's a few here that are new to me, so I'll have to go check them out. My budget is pretty miniscule for the next few months though, so I'll probably just be window shopping for now.
