About

     These actions are designed to be used as a set on
     PORTRAIT-ORIENTATED images and photographs.
     They will NOT work on LANDSCAPE IMAGES!

     The actions are typically suitable 
     for photographers of the human form, male and female models, 
     Poser and Daz artists, who wish to create the atmosphere and feel
     of old photos from their original works - quickly, and simply.

     No input is required by the user other than clicking one or more 
     of the action buttons.

     The different effects are very consistent across a variety of 
     images. Good examples of what can be achieved are viewable at
     www.lafemmedigitale.net
     

Output

     Ideally, you should apply these actions on 300 dpi hi-res images.
     The output will be hi-res 300 dpi old photos.
     You can use the actions to duplicate to 72 dpi large files and
     72 dpi web-ready files.
