Matte Pastels Photoshop Actions (Lite)

These Photoshop actions let you add surreal dream-like colors to your photos in just one click. The inspiration came from the works of photographer Masashi Wakuiand a tutorial on Lightroom Tutorials. Unfortunately for those looking to recreate the exact Masashi Wakui effect, these actions are not reverse-engineered clones of it. Rather, they are unique effects created from scratch but share some of the same characteristics as Wakui’s photos.

How to use: Play the first action then go to your History panel (Window > History) to pick an effect.
