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.

Nice work!

Gavin Very nicely done. I am a stickler when it comes to PS actions and as many of us know most are junk. But these are great. Nice work man. Love it. Will be writing about these soon.

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.

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 have the actions and they are sensational. Every product that I have purchased from you from workshops, actions, and presets have been top flight! Sorry you have to deal with narcissistic pseudointellectuals who complain about your products when they have never used them.

Alchemist will save any Photoshop users countless hours because it creates a simple, deep retouching approach that picks up where Lightroom and RAW apps stop No matter what you shoot or how you edit, Alchemist 2 has your back.

Years ago, it all started here at Seim Effects with my Hollywood Effects and Creative Essentials actions. They were loved by photographers. So I took those ideas and made them better with Alchemist. Gone are the days of flattening an image to add a new look. Alchemist 2 takes that even higher. We took the best of our previous collection and made them better with superior effects and more retouching tools that make advanced edits easier than you ever thought possible.

I realized that good tools are not enough. They have to be fluid. Most actions have to start from flat images, or throw away layers in the process. Alchemist 2 improved every aspect of the edit and takes it even beyond the plug-in with truly stackable actions. Let the magic begin.

Detail: Raw and presets are great, but you know that once you finish your RAW process, a great pixel edit is the best way. Alchemist 2 takes the guess work and wasted time out of it. Effects, glows, sharper eyes, perfect skin details vertically and non-destructively.

Brushes: Retouching. color overlays and details are usually a massive job. Alchemist 2 makes it really easy with  amazing building blocks that give you the mood you need fast. You can add rays of sunlight, green to the foliage or golden beauty to sunsets. Done!

One Clicks: Epic one click actions bow in Alchemist 2 from portrait glows to landscape color enhancers, lips, teeth and dozens of amazing effects are a click away. Apply a single great look, use it as is or mix the instantly created layers.

           

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! --
