A new set of Photoshop actions with faded effect. This set contains 5 actions to give your images a soft & faded look with 3 different coloring options. The actions gonna produce dark, & lighter effect in just one click. You can also set the coloring according to your images, just play the actions and expand the group, then choose the color that you’d like to add.

It’s is very easy to create a faded look in Photoshop. You can create this effect with the use of a few adjustment layers. First, create a Curves adjustment layer and then lift the shadows up to create a faded effect.  You can also add colors using Solid Color adjustments or using Photo Filter adjustment. Make sure to use the blending mode to get a variety of different results rather than using the Normal Blend mode with Solid Color, Gradient Map & Photo Filter for coloring.

Most likely go for Soft Light, Exclusion, and Lighten blending modes to produce a soft & beautiful faded effect. Once you play the action you can easily customize them by editing the adjustment layers.

You can take a look at before and after imagery to get a good idea what they can do:

3 Coloring options and many more you can decide to choose what color you want to add.

2 non-coloring actions that only focus on producing faded look.

Download & play the actions. Change the blending modes, adjust the adjustments to create soft or contrasty effect, and it’s all depends on you.
