Actions and Presets

[ham]

Could we make this a place for us to link to our favourites? I could do with a good sharpening action for lightroom, because to be honest, it's an area of post-processing I really don't understand that much.

I have 2 presets, one for each camera, which boost contrast, clarity, vibrancy and sharpness to varying extents as my "default". I then have another that does some of my Black and White processing for me. But they're just time savers really as I found I was doing the same things to every image.

What version of lightroom do you have? I don't use lightroom very often at all since I just never quite got the hang of it so I only have Lightroom 3. I go in there every once in awhile just to try out a few presets for a photo.

Yesterday, I downloaded over 190 free presets from OnOne (Volumes 1, 2 & 3) but it is only supports Lightroom 2 & 3. In Volume 3, there are presets for sharpening and noise reduction for general use and a few of them are specifically for landscape and a few for portraits. Each one has a light, medium and strong preset to choose from.

Here's the link if you or anyone else is interested ...

I'm sure they will come out with one for Lightroom 4 soon. I hope this helps!
