Shortcuts in Action

I normally make adjustments to all of my images manually... {translation: it can take me a looooong time to get just the right look.} Recently, I came across this site which has some AMAZING actions that I have been playing around with. For this image of Chase that I took yesterday, I used an action called 'Creamy Chocolate B&W' and I love the result! The best part? Instead of staying up all night to get the right look, it took me just a few minutes!! Be sure to check out this site for all kinds of great actions and tutorials. Rita is extremely talented and so generous to boot.
