JVS Reviews: A beautiful set of actions, Ascough SILVER Actions

Sister Sophia + Ascough Silver Actions
It’s 10:15 Saturday Night and you might be wondering why I’m still sitting at my Mac Pro? Other than the fact that I work 80-100 hours per week, I finally had the chance to work with Jeff Ascough’s latest masterpiece, Ascough SILVER Actions.

Nothing has made my digital images look more like black and white film than Ascough’s “800 speed b/w film” action. I went one action further and ran “diffusion grain more” to simulate the look of my beloved P3200.

Please check back later this week when I’ll choose one image and run it through all of the Ascough SILVER Actions. Thanks for stopping by and as you know, comments are welcomed. Nite. JVS
