These actions are compatible with Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3 and with earlier versions of Photoshop.

The Center Spot filters create a Layer Set/Group in Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3. Earlier version of Photoshop will instead see two layers. These are the only actions to create pixel-based layers. The Solid color and graduated filters use adjustment layers.

You will need to create a circular or oval selection with the Elliptical Marquee tool before invoking one of the Center Spot Filter or Vignette Effect Filter actions.

You can adjust the layer opacity or even the blend mode and color to adjust the effects to your liking.

So go wild! Some effects are somber! Some are flambouyant! Most important of all . . . Have fun! You have over five dozen filters to choose from!
