To most people this may be a really boring post, but for those of you who are photographers (or those of you that just like to pretend you are), this post is for you! For those raising your eyebrows and just wondering, what the heck is an action, let me help.
The process the photo goes though before reaching a client’s wall can actually take a many steps in Photoshop or Lightroom or whatever editing system the photographer decides to use. This can be an extremely long process especially when going though thousands of images. Changing the contrast, the brightness, the color or the sharpness of a photo are all things that are looked at. Because time is something we would all like more of, actions can be used. These are the strenuous steps made simple of creating an image the way that it was envisioned on the day of the shoot and can save hours of time!
Because I am constantly looking for actions, and ways to make my time more time-efficient, I wanted to share a site that brought me more actions, and even better, they were FREE. Check out Pure Photoshop Actions for a few more days. Like them on Facebook and get your set. Happy editing!
Here is one of my favorite little toddlers from a session last year. Action names are below.
