Photoshop Automator Actions v3.0 released

Ben Long has released v3.0 of his rocking set of Automator actions for Photoshop, introducing 11 new actions and a slew of new and updated abilities including:

• Add Layer, Add Empty Adjustment Layer, Duplicate Current Layer

• Render action allows saving as EPS, or using Save for Web

• Save for Web can also be used in conjunction with other formats, allowing users to save in multiple formats with one action

• Add Color Balance, Hue/Saturation and Channel Mixer effects as Adjustment Layers

• Shadow/Highlight, Mono Gaussian Noise, and Bleach Bypass no longer require that you activate GUI Scripting

• Smart Sharpen, Shadow/Highlight, and Unsharp Mask now provide an option to automatically add their effects to a duplicate layer that has its own Layer Mask (can anyone say 'non-destructive editing'?)

• Resize Canvas now offers a choice of background colors

• Mono Gaussian Noise now allows you to apply noise to a new layer filled with color. Full control of blending mode and opacity is provided

All of these new features, in addition to what is already a massive list of capabilities, make this a powerful package of donationware actions indeed. Photoshop Automator Actions v3.0 can be had from Complete Digital Photography.
