Beautiful & Creative Photo Results From Our Photoshop Actions Contest Winners
See how Photoshop actions can quickly and easily transform your images into incredible artwork.
By Envato
Grand Prize ($500) – romlam
What we love about this entry is the combination of multiple actions. The Double Light action adds modern, atmospheric lighting to the image and the Animated Fire Embers add a subtle yet very effective touch to bring the ‘sound’ of the ukulele to life. With a final dash of cinemagraph animation to bring the picture to life, romlam’s masterpiece is complete!

Runner-up ($250) – em1
Our judges were all in agreement with this beautiful entry from em1. The fashion image is accentuated with a gentle pink hue and truly comes alive with the Shatter action applied. The effect adds movement, magic and intrigue to any image.

3rd place ($150) – pbombaert
Shatter was a popular choice amongst contest participants and the clever use of a glass lightbulb by pbombaert really captures the essence of the Photoshop action. The shattered particles really help draw-in the user’s focus and really pop with the addition of the deep purple background.
