ISO Action to get this look

[jenn7]

Does anyone know of an action that will create a look similar to this (the photo, kind of vintagey but with rich colors)?

I've seen this kind of look on many pages, Lissy's come to mind most. I have already asked her and she doesn't use actions. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Even a tutorial would be great, action preferred though. Thank you!!!

Looks like an acid wash or cross process action to me... but every photo takes the effects differently, so depending on your pic your results might not be the same. This is a good pack (check to see if it will work for your program) that I get a lot of use out of-

or photoblast also has an action called cross process that probably would work.

Kim Hill has a couple that might work for you...I'm not real experienced with actions.

Thanks. I actually have the acid wash and cross process from photoblast, but haven't been able to get anything close to those.

Thanks! Will take a look at Kim's.

To me, it looks like a lot of hand-done enhancements to the eyes using layer masks and curves. Then maybe a noiseware filter was run and an unsharp mask. Lastly, the saturation was dropped down a smidge . . . not sure if it was the entire RGB or just the reds that were lowered.

Makes me think of one of the actions I have from Holly McCaig and My Digital Muse.

Would Virtual Photographer help (sorry, I can't find the link right now)?
