This is the first of many to come Photoshop actions, which will give your digital images the look of the images taken with the HipstamaticApp for iPhone. If you are some of those people who like those awesome images taken with the HipstamaticApp, but dont own an iPhone, than this Photoshop action might be for you. Click on the samples below, to get an idea what this action do.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, the Hipstamatic 100 was a real camera – a plastic one with interchangeable lenses was designed and manufactured 1982-1984 in a little river front cabin in Wisconsin by two brothers, Bruce and Winston Dorbowski. In the summer of 1984 they were killed by a drunk driver… and 1993 the family lost most of the brothers’ photos and work archives in a fire. The story would have ended there, except for Richard Dorbowski. In the summer of 2007 he set up a website memorializing his younger brothers and two years later two young web developers made him an offer for bringing Hipstamatic back as a digital application for Apple’s iPhone. It’s now in the Top 5 of iPhone photo apps. And it’s an absolute blast.
I am hopelessly addicted to Hipstamatic (as well to Photoshop) and this is what made me create this action for Photoshop. Its going to take quite a while, to create all the Hipstamatic lenses, films and flashes, but I dont want to make you wait 
As soon as I have a ready action, I will upload it here, so be sure to subscribe and dont miss them.

jana, thank you for the great support. all working fine now. i love the hipstamatic action… who needs an iphone, we have you
please hurry with the other hipstamatic actions.
you rock jana!
Hey, I downloaded the action and it worked perfectly on my desktop computer, but I am having problem running it on my laptop. I am using both platforms: mac&win.
Please help me to resolve this issue. I love your action and want to use it on my laptop too. Most of my pictures are stored there.
I forgot to tell you, that I use CS a and CS4 (if this matters)
Yes, it does matters. CS is an older PS version and doesnt have all the features used in the action. I am modifying the action now with the help from a friendly user, so it should run smoothly on older CS version. Just be patient! There will be an update in the next days.
Cheers,
Jana
Will this work in PSE8?
I am sorry. Right now it works only with Photoshop CS. I will have later version compatible with PSE.
These actions are great, Jana! Thanks! I hope you create more soon!

Hi,
I bought both 1 and 2 packs, but I can’t get either to work sorry, the readme doesn’t seem to make sense, the file it refers to do not exist. But I have read in comments that people have got it to work so I must be doing something wrong. Is there a forum or something where we can troubleshoot? I couldn’t find one linked on your site.
Also in one of the packs there is a file with no file extension on it so I added it myself, but I still do not have all the files referenced to in the readme. :-/
Help!
Jason.
Jason,
Thanks for pointing me to those problems. All fixed now! Hopefully my tutorial was helpful and you are enjoying the actions!
All fixed now thanks for the great help!
I am very excited to know that there is an easy way to get the Hipstamatic look. I have not been able to get the actions to work on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9. If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. I have not had a response from author.
I was aware when I bought it that it may not function with PSE9, but the price was worth the chance. In any case, I am happy use it when it does work with PSE9. A stand alone app, like the iPhone app, would sell quite well and not cost much to develop abroad……
Thank you.
Todd, I answered you in the Facebook “Like” Page… Here is the answer
Todd Montgomery Great work Jana! I love the iPhone app, so I had been searching for a solution for my photos taken with a normal camera. Can anyone who me how to setup her actions in Photoshop Premiere Elements 9? PLEASE!

Hi I hope you can help me with an issue i have with regarding the Film Border Actions not working.
(I run Photoshop CS3 on Mac)
I’ve loaded the Actions and Patterns in the correct places. I’ve run both Hipstapack 1 and 2. Both work fine and well. I get to the end dialogue where it says ‘Hold there! We are not done yet! <<>> Pick some of the Film Border actions below….i.e. “Film – Floaty” and click PLAY.’
So I do that. And it runs all the way through until the last Fill stage – It stops with the final warning box saying.
‘Could not complete the command because the selected area is empty.’
What I am left with in the layers menu in the film folder is two layers. A layer named ‘gradient’. And a an empty layer named Photo Border. All I see of my image is a big colour gradient obscuring everything.
I’m sorry to trouble you I am missing something really obvious. I hope you or somebody could help e out. I really want to get this working. It’s exciting work your doing for us.
Danny, thank you for your comment. The error message appear, because you are not playing the first action “MUST!-Prepare the image” until the end. After you finish with the crop tool, you should push the play button again, to resize the image. Your image is under 600px (I guess) thats why you have this error message. When the image has the proper size, the action runs really smooth. Let me know how it goes!
Hi Jana,
I’m very excited about just have bought this action, but it’s not working. :/ I can’t open the pdf file and when I try to load the action to photoshop (cs4) it fails.
I’m not an advanced photoshop user, have just started learning now. So please, I’d really appreciate help. ^^
Thanx
Ana
Ana, I sent you mail with the download link. It seems to me, that your zip file did not download properly.
Hope you are enjoying the action!

Would love to know when this is available for PSE8/9 …
Hi, and thanks for a really great action! I’ve already spent half a day hipstamatic’ing a big bunch of my old photos
I’ve also taken the liberty of adding a small tweak to the action which in my opinion improves it: I’ve added a “flatten image”-action in the prepare-part. Too often I paste a photo to a new document from flickr, but then the photo gets added as a new layer, and the rest of the action gets useless.
It might be only me in need of this tweak, but in case not, I figured I’d give my two cents in.
Thanks again for a great action! Loving it!
Amanda, I am sorry… those action doesnt run smooth on PSE 8/9.
hi dear jana, id like to get all pack , let me to know if this works with ph cs5
best
marcio
Hi Marcio,
Sorry for the little delay. Yes, the actions work with PS CS5 (was created with it). The only requirement on one of the actions is to switch to 32 bit mode, as some of the filters don’t exist in 64bit mode.
