A B&W conversion that will allow you to fine tune the tonality of different colors prior to conversion. Has an edgy boldness. Reduced intensity from the standard version.

Fade To Black and white
Is it B&W? You decide. An ever so subtle hint of color makes you wonder...do your eyes deceive you? Look long and hard and contemplate the meaning of life.

CREATIVE EFFECTS

Icing
Smooth and slightly soft, with a gentle contrast punch. Zero calories too.

PopSickle
Looking for a little pop? See your details come to life.

PopSickle 2
A stronger variant of PopSickle. See your details come to life.

Enter the Dragon
Bam! An illuminant, three-dimensional, edgy, bold and powerful round-house kick to the head. Use on images with lots of texture and detail then stand back and feel the Dragon.

Enter the Dragons Lair
Like Enter the Dragon - but darker and more dramatic. Edges have vignette and texture. Bruce Lee would hide in here while fighting Chuck Norris. Bruce would win.

Dragon Queen
Bold and 3-dimensional like the original Enter the Dragon, but with a soft glowiness suitable for a Queen.

Dragon Princess
Bold and 3-dimensional like the original Enter the Dragon, but with a soft glowiness suitable for a Princess.

Enter the Dragon - Old World Color
The bold 3-dimensionality of Enter the Dragon, but with an antique color palette. Give your images a timeless feel with a modern edge.

Enter the Dragon - Smooth Bold 1
3-dimensional and bold with a surreal smoothness to it. Almost a painterly feel, but not quite. Use it on daring people pictures to smooth skin.

Enter the Dragon - Smooth Bold 2
3-dimensional and bold with a surreal smoothness to it. Almost a painterly feel, but not quite. Use it on daring people pictures to smooth skin. Stronger than 1.

Try a Little Tenderness
Do you feel like you just need something soft and romantic? A little dreamy perhaps? Then try a little tenderness. Works on spouses especially well.

TheEdge
Enhances details and removes haziness from the image. You may find you like this as a starter Action for all your images.

MyEdge
A bolder version of The Edge. Make it yours.

300esque
King Leonidas would be proud...if he weren't so very, very dead. If you don't know what we're talking about, go see the movie. A warm, perpetual sunset and soft film grain.

Blue Dawn
A risque color palette. Cool in the shadows, warm in the mids, bold and punchy. Try it for a fashion edge or modern moodiness.

Blue Dawn Leonidas
A risque color palette. Cool in the shadows, warm in the mids, bold and punchy. Try it for a fashion edge or modern moodiness. More painterly feel, like the movie.

Bleacher
For those creamy skin tones that nearly blow out. Looks great on high-key backdrops. Keeps shadows and contrast.

Edge Downer
A simple tool to darken the edges evenly in a rectangular shape. Different from an oval vignette.

Punch Drunk
Poppy colors and contrast. Kind of like beer goggles, only different.

Fudgesickle
Hard to explain, but rich, bold and soft at the same time. Shadows seem to become like rain clouds, but without the thunder and lightning.

Creamsickle
A lighter, soft and creamy effect. You just gotta try it. Non-staining formula.

Krypto Glasses
Dramatic transformation. Bold vignette. Bold Color. Diffused edges. Like looking through your super hero helmet at a gothic city.

TechyKolor
A color palette that reminds us of the old days. A film like quality that never goes out of style.

KevKolor
A different color palette that is somewhat antique, yet bold at the same time.

Sweeny Todd
Moody with the feel of walking through an old London town in winter. Faded color palette.

China Doll
Porcelain like skin tones and overall midtone brightening.

China Doll Smooth
Porcelain like skin tones and overall midtone brightening. Also adds soft, smoothing - excellent for skin.

Patina
A very unique color palette that is impressionistic more than realistic. Use this when you are really searching for something out of the ordinary.

Ancient
Imagine a painting of an old renaissance castle, hundreds of years old. Try this on your fine art and landscape images. Maybe an old church in Italy?

Prehistoric
Even older than Ancient, this is edgy and bold. Not for the faint at heart or those seeking normality. Look for t-rex.

Selective Focus
An interactive Action that emulates focus fading in then out. Will require closing the Action Dashboard to complete. Simply drag a line from sharp to blur.

Comic Relief
This is just for fun!

IMAGE CORRECTION

Contrast Brush
Use it to paint contrast only to areas that need a little oomph. Try it on hair and important details of an image to make them more prominent.

Highlight Rescue
This will help bring back highlights that are a bit gone. It won't put detail where there is none, so don't expect miracles - only magic.

Highlight enhancer
Use this when your highlights just aren't the highlight of your day. Paint where you want to make them shine.

Dark Darkener
Paint over areas that need to be darker. Won't affect midtones and highlights. Great for eyeliner and those dark lines around the iris of the eye. What do you call those anyway?

Luminizer
Take a deep breath! Opens the shadows and provides overall illumination. Affects primarily the midtones and shadows.

Interactive Color Luminizer
Allows you to interactively lighten or darken select color ranges in a color image. Inspired by Lightroom's cool Luminance adjustment.

All Kubota Actions are powered exclusively through Kubota Action DASHBOARDs and are not sold as .ATN (Photoshop Action) files.

After your order is placed, you will receive links to download both Action DASHBOARDs along with a license code to activate your Actions in your Action DASHBOARD 3. Action DASHBOARD 4 Pro does not require a license code and access will be attached to your account. You may use the DASHBOARD that meets your system requirements at this time.

Before completing your order, please read the following details about both Action DASHBOARDs.

KUBOTA ACTION DASHBOARD 4 PRO

PC: Windows XP or higher; Photoshop CS5 or higher*

*If you upgraded to the latest versions of CS6, version 13.0.2/13.1 or higher, you must follow these steps to install the Action DASHBOARD 4 Pro at this time.

Introducing the new Action DASHBOARD 4 Pro available now! The new DASHBOARD is available for free and comes with almost 50 free Actions, plus Pro features. Also included is a new feature to try any Kubota Action you do not own on your images at any time.

After your order is placed, you will receive an email with a download link for the Action DASHBOARD 4 Pro. If you have already downloaded and installed it, it is not necessary to do so again. If you need to install it, please download it and follow closely the directions in "IMPORTANT-Installation_Instructions.pdf" included in the download.

Upon completion of your order, you will be automatically granted access in your DASHBOARD account to the Actions in this Pak. To access your new Actions, login to your Action DASHBOARD 4 Pro. If you are already logged in to your DASHBOARD, go to your Options dropdown menu in the upper right corner and select 'Check for Purchases.'

Mac: OS X 10.5 or higher; Photoshop CS3 or CS4*
PC: Windows XP or higher; Photoshop CS3 or CS4*

*Installing into Photoshop CS5 and higher is possible, but special installation steps are required. Please click HERE for instructions.

After your order is placed, you will receive an email with a download link for the Action DASHBOARD 3. If you have already downloaded and installed it, it is not necessary to do so again and you should purchase this product directly from your DASHBOARD by clicking on the 'Purchase' button. If this is your first installation of the Action DASHBOARD 3, your Kubota Action DASHBOARD will appear as a trial version for the first 30 days following your installation, with or without purchase. Everyone starts off in trial mode, which includes most of our Kubota Actions and the Kubota Action DASHBOARD PRO version. You can enter in the license code you receive with your purchase any time within the trial period and you will still have access to everything for those 30 days. At the end of the trial, your license will keep active only the products you own.

Please note, if you already own other Kubota DASHBOARD Paks and use DASHBOARD 3, the new license code will only activate the new Pak and only one license code can be used at a time. Thus, if you activate this new code, you will only be granted access to this Pak and will no longer be able to access your other purchased Paks. No need to fear, we will consolidate all of your purchases as soon as possible and send you your updated code. To avoid this delay, and for immediate access to these Actions, purchase this product directly from your DASHBOARD by clicking the 'Purchase' button.
