This article is for all those photographers and designers who want to take their image post-processing job to a whole new level. It doesn’t matter how good as a photographer you are and what lenses you use, but your images will have some weaker areas to look after and that’s what you exactly should enhance by processing your images in a “digital darkroom”.
Obviously, there are some basic tune-ups like brightness, contrast, saturation, etc. which almost everyone is pretty comfortable with. But if you want to take your photographs to the next level, then you need to learn a lot of Photoshop to achieve the color correction and grading level that you desire. Or you can take the smarter way with some awesome Photoshop actions which can automate the whole process for you.
Now, using these photoshop tutorials, you can spend more time on going out in the actual field, taking photographs rather than sitting before your computer and getting your grades correct. In this article, I have tried my best in collecting some of the best (both free and premium) Photoshop actions, from my experience of usage over a long period of time.
