Retro Paint-Act - PS Action Kit

Retro Paint-Act is a powerful action for photoshop, with it you can give an appearance like from the fifties to their images. At that time, the process was taking a picture for an artist then do a painting, this technique was widely used in the advertising for magazines and movie posters. In this kit there are 2 sets of actions, the first is fully automated, which you only need to click and go. The second group contains the same actions but you can control them "levels" and "shadows and highlights", this allows a more optimal result according to the original image. Additionally, you will find a PSD file that contains 10 textures of old papers, 1 set of 20 Vintage Ink Brushes, a list of links to free download 12 beautiful fonts from the 50's and a simple demonstration video to help you personalize your effect. --- About Majestic Filter Thinking about improving and making more realistic our Retro Paint-Act, we have totally incorporated for free the Majestic Filter, which is nothing more than a set of actions that significantly improve the results and bring us closer to the appearance of the paintings of the years 50s, this is not perfect, but it can be a great tool for our projects.
