-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This set includeds 15 Actions - 8 Artistic Effects Actions and 7 Finessing Actions for your convenience. The set also includes a Canson paper pattern file to load into the patterns presets library. Also included is a Canson paper pattern.psd file to source from the Filter>Texture>Texturizer command.

Mama's Sketch & Paintbox includes 15 separate actions to assist and inspire the "artist" in you to produce beautiful simulations of various types of traditional mediums and combination of mediums. Mama's Pencil Sketch is the foundation action, that works amazingly well in combination with the other actions in the set to give the user artistic license in producing a variety of stunning pieces.

The actions leave the editable layers intact which allow you to go back and fine tune the effects. Turning various layers and/or Groups visibility on/off is part of the formula to create a self-contained master file storing a variety of artistic renditions of the original photograph.

You don't have to be a traditional artist to increase your sales by offering a "tradigital" service to your clients. The effects are a wonderful addition for printing in albums, cards, canvas, art paper, or Web graphics.

1: Mama's Pencil Sketch Action - Run this art effect action on an RGB image to produce the Mama's Sketch Group, which is also the foundation for additional actions and techniques in this pack. Instructional dialog boxes are built into the action to guide you on the necessary interactivity required to produce the optimum results.
Besides creating the foundation sketch group, this action creates another group called Mama's Colors Group, which contains a formulated blend of the original colors. This Groups visibility is OFF by default, as it is something you go back to, to edit, after running subsequent Actions in the set. In combination with the underlying layers this produces some lovely illustrative versions of the image.
