Well well well here’s another set of free photoshop actions after almost TWO years, that’s a long long time
 
In this set you’ll get 4 cross processing actions, specially made for photographers who want to give that vintage touch to their photos.
 
The set was developed on Photoshop CS 5, so it’ll work on later versions of PS. However I haven’t tested them on earlier versions. You can give it try and if it works you may notify me by leaving a comment below.
 
Feel free to use them in your personal or commercial work & of course I would love to see your photos edited with these actions. Feel free to leave a link under comments.
 

 

How to install:

- Download and extract the archive
- Open Photoshop; under menu go to Window > Actions or press ALT+F9
- Click the menu icon on right edge of Actions palette.
- Select “Load Actions…” and point to the extracted .atn file.
- And you’re done!

The first church in Sindh (except for possibly one in Thatta) was initially built on the grounds of this cathedral in 1845, and was called St. Patrick’s Church. It was in April 1881 that the present cathedral was opened, since the Christian community grew in number, and the need for a larger place of worship became apparent. Despite the construction of the new building, the little church continued to function until it was destroyed by a storm in 1885.
 
The Cathedral is built in Gothic Revival architecture; it measures 52 metres by 22 metres, and has the capacity to accommodate at least 1,500 worshippers at the same time. It was designed and realized by three members of the Society of Jesus: The design of the cathedral was conceived by the architect Father Karl Wagner, SJ and the construction was supervised by the lay Brothers George Kluver, SJ and Herman Lau, SJ.

The Shah Jahan Mosque was built in the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. It is located in Thatta, Sindh province, Pakistan. It has been on the tentative UNESCO World Heritage list since 1993.
 
In the town of Thatta (100 km / 60 miles from Karachi) itself, there is famous Shahjahani Mosque with its beautiful architecture. This mosque was built in 1647 during the reign of Mughal King Shah Jahan, also known as the builder King. The mosque is built with red bricks with blue coloured glaze tiles probably imported from another Sindh’s town of Hala. The mosque has overall 100 domes and it is world’s largest mosque having such number of domes. It has been built keeping acoustics in mind. A person speaking inside one end of the dome can be heard at the other end.
