One of my most frequently asked questions is how I edit my pictures. Whilst I’ve never thought I was particularly great at it, I do know my way around Photoshop, so rather than try to explain how I edit my pictures, I’ve created these Actions so you can do it too with the click of a button!
For those of you that don’t know what an Action is – it’s something that you can download, load to Photoshop, and then when you press the play button, it edits the picture that you have open for you. I’m not sure if that’s the best description – if you’re still confused and want to know how to use actions, just take a peek on YouTube as there are loads of tutorials.
As you can see from above, the actions are varying in their degrees of “vintageness”..but there is no reason to keep them exactly as you see them. Have a play around with the layers, and change the opacity until it looks perfect for your own image. That’s how I learned how to use Photoshop and familiarised myself with the various tools, so hopefully it will help you too!
I also created a little zip file with a few ‘Bokeh’ images for you to overlay and create a glittery, flared effect. For those interested, the images were created from fireworks at Glastonbury Festival! Simply resize the image, set it as a new layer above your original image, and then play around with the layer style – I recommend Soft Light!
So, without further ado, download the set of Photoshop Actions here, and the the 3 Bokeh images here.
If you have any questions, just ask in the comments and I’ll try and help!
If you’d like a step-by-step tutorial, I posted one last year! Take a look! x

Carrie, you are amazing! Thank you so much! Oh, and did I mention you are amazing?
Thanks so much! I have the tutorial you did saved and always refer back to it, these are amazing x
Carrie,
Thank you for sharing! I’m utterly rubbish at all things photo edit so you’ve given me some real food for thought! Admittedly though my photos tend to be of inanimate objects and miscellaneous pretty things so possibly take less work than photos of clothing on a person – i.e you!

Oh what a delight! I love cycling! And there’s nothing better than riding a bike on a hot day and cool as it is there. Here in Brazil the winter is very strict, very cold here. Your post inspired me for the coming summer days.
You always beautiful!

Thanks so much for the photoshop actions! Vintage lover like you & the actions are just amazing, really helps me alot.
Hello! The photoshop actions link to download is just a bunch of code, and nothing downloads. Is there a chance you could fix it??
Thanks!

was having the same problem, but I figured it out! You have to hover/highlight the link, then RIGHT click it and select “Save to downloads”. It will automatically save it as a .atn file in your folder.
Thanks!! I’ll definitely be trying these.

It’s wonderful of you to share but was wondering if it was just me or if the download for the actions doesn’t work?
Hi I am unfortunately having some trouble downloading your wishwish actions. When I click the link it brings me to a page full of webjibberjabber (“enum
Hover/highlight the actual link, then RIGHT click. Select “Save to downloads” and it will save it as a .atn file in your downloads folder!

I love the way your actions look on here…but your link doesn’t work where you say “So, without further ado, download the set of Photoshop Actions here.” I click the link and a page full of black font shows up with nothing further… help would be appreciated
I had the same problem, but I remembered having this problem before. I figured it out! you have to hover or highlight the link, RIGHT click, and select “Save to downloads”. Once you do that, it will automatically save it as a .atn file in your downloads folder!! Hope that makes sense!
