Action Effects is a software suite consisting of 7 automated retouching actions designed for Adobe Photoshop CS, CS2 and CS3. It simplifies and speeds up image post-processing.
Each action is activated with a simple click in the Photoshop Actions window or by using the dedicated shortcuts. Additionally, Action Effects never directly alters your original photos. Some of the actions will add the effects on a new layer in your layers tree or duplicate your starting image.
It's worth noting that Action Effects is released as Donationware, which means that if you enjoy using it and find it helpful, you can donate a small amount of cash to support its development.
