Description
Action set aimed towards professionals. It was originally developed to speed up my work (I use many of the actions daily), but I have tweaked and added some more for you to enjoy.The tools are most useful if you spend a lot of time adjusting/retouching images for professional use. It includes a group of actions for batch conversion of images, as well as some very useful adjustments (done in layers to protect your image).
List of actions in set:

Full readme is included in the action set, but do ask if you have more questions about them or how they work.
The actions are free to use for whatever you want (commercial or not) with no credit needed, but I ask that you link back here if you want to redistribute it as is.

Lovely work. I use the local contrast and enhance viberance ones on just about all my photography.

Thanks
Tip: The "Vibrance" action should not be used on CS4 and newer. Use the actual adjustment layer called Vibrance. It will do the same, but better.

I love the increase local contrast action... I use it on almost all images... Although my USM is at 10% and thus not as strong as the 20% i set it to in this set (to emphasize it a bit).
