light of my life
I recently treated myself to a set of Ashleys Photoshop Actions & I have to say that it’s the best money I’ve spent in a long time!
True, these Actions are all things I frequently try to do myself when doing a portrait, but using them has halved my workflow.
Perhaps I should learn to do my own actions….
I’ve had a lot of fun playing with them this afternoon…...
