Haunted Tree – Part 2

Posted on by

Welcome back!

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I need your advice picking out the best photo effect. I used Pioneer Woman’s Photoshop Actions to get these effects.

I will often use the Quick Edge Burn on photos. It gives it a more dramatic look and feel. So I thought I’d try it combined with some the other actions. When I first started this process I thought I knew which one I liked, but now… after looking at them… I do need your help…

I think after doing this experiment that the Quick Edge Burn has a place, but in some instances it may be too much. What do you think?

So which one do you think is best? Leave your vote in a comment. Also, add a link to photos where you’ve used PW’s Actions.
