#ps action

In the example images above you can see comparisons between the EA Default, then @ophelia-nygmos​‘ Subtle Paradise reshade preset (which I use for gameplay and screenshots, I can’t live without it anymore!), then we have my “Edit” Photoshop Action over top, and the last example has a Topaz Clean filter added. Also included in my Screenshot edit actions is the really simple one I use to add a border glow effect around my notifications.

Here’s a list of the actions that are included:

1. “Edit + Topaz + Resize” - Applies the edits to change brightness/saturation/etc., resizes the screenshot to have a width of 1000px suitable for sharing online, applies the Topaz Clean filter, and sharpens. (Keep in mind, because the screenshot is resized before the Topaz Clean filter is applied, it’ll be more pronounced than you see above. Take a look at my recent gameplay posts to see what that looks like. You need Topaz Clean for this one to work.)

2. “Edit + Topaz” - Applies the edits above, without changing the size of the screenshot. This is the one I used in the final step in the example images. (Because the screenshot will be larger when the Topaz Clean filter is added, the effect will be more subtle than the previous action. You need Topaz Clean for this one to work.)

3. “Edit” - Only applies the brightness/saturation/sharpness filters, without the Topaz Clean filter, or changing the size of the image. (This is where the bulk of the editing happens as you can see above, and will still look great even if you don’t use Reshade or Topaz Clean.)

4. “Notif BG” - Applies a glow effect to a layer. Designed to be used on Notifications pasted over your screenshots on their own layer.

If you don’t have Topaz Clean or Reshade, the “Edit” action will still give you great results. 😊 Feel free to fiddle around with them to make them work for you!

[Cons: In some very bright situations my PS actions may overexpose and wash out detail in white/bright areas. Feel free to delete or edit some of the action steps to mitigate this if it bothers you.]
