I downloaded the "Grunge" action that Joey Lawrence likes to use, and tried it out on this photo of my daughter. It was really a poor photo to begin with ... low light and lots of noise. Any comments?

Thanks as always!:)

It looks good. I'll tell you what though, there's no automatic filter/plug-in that's ever going to come close to what you can do when you really sit down and do everything by hand...but like I said, it looks pretty good.

Very true, that action is only the beginning. :-)

I think the portrait looks pretty good with a bit of noise and grunge. However, the slight softness doesn't work with the grain in my oppinion. Try editing it a bit sharper? :-)
