Well a few things happened yesterday that got me all excited. I got to reading some of my favorite blogs about photography and came across some information about actions. These actions would be used in photoshop and they make pictures you proof amazing. Here is the link that I’m talking about Stacy Reeves Blog. So that is the secret huh? So now I have done research and I’m on the lookout for free actions. So if you know any… share the love! :)
So I did the research on the actions in my photoshop book and figured out to make my own. Because of this I was able to double the amount of pictures I was proofing in half the time!! Normally I proof for 4 hours and get about 150 pictures. Last night I proofed for about 3 hours (spent a lot of that figuring out how to use the actions) and I proofed over 300 photos! That made my day!! Now I only have about 100 and I am confident now about my timing!! Whoo Hoo!!!

Also, I find that if you like a certain person’s actions join their group on Flickr…sometimes they post free samples.
