Awww, it's so sweet of you to upload that action, I'm still getting the hang of tweaking screenshots in CS5, so this is a big help. Thanks a lot!

Kaleeko, this action looks great! It looks so subtile but still changes a lot... Can I use it for my screens and the pics of my website, eventually?

@lidija: Haha, yup. I actually upgraded to CS5 just because I couldn't use actions--I do not like being left out of the fun, haha. @ann: You're welcome, hon! Experimenting is the key, but it's nice to have a selection of actions that work nicely so you can sort of "standardize" that way some of your shots look. @emelia: Of course you may! It's uploaded to be used! I'd love to see the outcome, too. I really suggest messing with the Curves 1 layer, though; it's the main source of lightness for the image, so fiddle with the opacity to brighten darker images more or lighten bright images less. I have it set to ~%20, which is good for most screenshots, but it's always a good idea to fiddle with it a little bit. C=

You may, or may not have, created a monster.

I've been contemplating starting a stable of my own somewhere in the far, far... far..... faaaarrr future, once Margo is old enough and has enough money to start her own, so I've been thinking a lot about the breed I'd like to do and what horses I might be interested starting with, and somewhere during that process I made this gal: She doesn't look quite right yet, but she's getting there! The coat is done, at least. For reference, this is what she's supposed to look like: ... Minus being a Stallion, of course. I've been doing a crazy amount of research on Murgese horses the past week or so, and I'm really falling in love with them--I'm just having a riduculously hard time making their head look that BIG in-game, so I'm gonna have to keep fiddling with it. At least I'm not planning on starting anything for like, at least several months! I've definitely come to the conclusion though, that a) there needs to be more sliders for horses, and b) blue roan coats are fun to make. C= EDIT: I was a bit horrified at how dissimilar the head looked to the original (and to the breed standard), so I updated her apperance: Still not perfect, I don't think, but closer.

A horse doesn't care how much you know until he knows how much you care.

Awww, she's beautiful. And she will be Margo's eventually? I think she'd fit her perfectly.

On the second photo the head's maybe a little bit too big?

Thanks guys! @ann: She might be! I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do, yet. It's a long, long way down the line, at the current rate I'm writing, haha. @lidija: Yeah, I agree. I've still got tons of fiddling to do, like I said, I was just trying to get it a bit closer--unfortunately, I'm not very good at judging how things actually look while they're in CAP. XD

Two more WIP shots--I'm thinking it's looking better, but unfortunately, the parts that don't look right I'm not even sure are fixable. There's simply no sliders for those regions of the face/body. Here's another picture of the Stallion, for a better reference of the body shape: *grumble* I think I'm just gonna have to wait for more sliders to come out. If ever. T___T
