Great Workflow

Never mind the trolls. I have purchased the Seim Alchemist actions and think they are a great addition to my arsenal. I use Lr a lot, but when I want to finish something as a featured piece I'll go to PS and Alchemist is great. You can stack them without having to merge and flatten layers. Super non - destructive work flow.

Really Nice

I finally broke down and bought a package. I like them, I'm new to using actions, but I went through them one by one and found some favorites already. They're really nice.

I use them on almost everything

I use Alchemist actions on almost ALL beauty retouches. No need to flatten layers - they are stackable and non destructive.

Alchemist 3 makes other actions look primitive. 

Alchemist 3 does what takes hours in Photos but in seconds. The nuance of what blending modes and layers to apply to get deep tones and atmosphere is instant in Alchemist 3, letting you go far beyond raw editors like Lightroom ot Capture One for fast master edits on your best work.

Years ago, Seim Effects with my legendary Hollywood Effects and Creative Essentials actions. But Alchemist 3 brings the best of all those tools into one system. It brings years of advanced action tuning that makes how most actions work look primitive. 

A good final image is not enough. You need control to make it yours, and nothing has control like Alchemist 3.  No need to flatten or hold back. Alchecmiost 3 buuls layers one on top of the other with near magical effectiveness and lets you create your edit your way.

Master Mixers: Every tool in Alchemist 3 is powerful, but the master mixer allows you to create combos with a click. Then you can remix or add other effects to your liking, letting you create complex effects super easily.

Zero Fakery: In a world where photos are becoming a lost art and everything is being faked with Ai generation, Alchemist 3 stays focused on helping real photographers master the most impeccable edits possible. 

Shadow Mastery: As a Shadow hacker, Gavin has introduced a deeper control over shadow and how light is mixed in V3. It's not always about brightness; it's about feeling, and Alchemist 3 is a master of creating mood.

         

I'm Gavin Seim. I'm a Shadow Hunter

I started photography in 1997 at age 12. I'm a PPA Master, Hot One and Loan Collection winner and Lightroom expert. My images, tools and workshops have been featured in books and throughout the industry.
 

I was born in WA USA. I started working pro (using that word loosely as I sucked) using film at age 16. It was not easy to find training then and often I beat my head against the wall to win. 20+ years in the trenches earned me my Masters (M.Photog) from PPA but it taught me that's just the start.


I moved to Mexico in 2017, exploring the magical light of the South, creating tools and workshops as well as the Pro Photo Podcast. There's lots of videos and free things here. If you have questions I'm here to help

You're rightly skeptical of photography tools in today's market. That's why all sales are NOT FINAL here. I guarantee each tool and workshop with my 31 day No-Regrets Guarantee! --
