    In my experience actions should only be used for non-retouching stuff - as every image deserves getting special attention. Never saw the point of running a perfectly good picture through a ready made treatment. I would rather learn the techniques for getting the look you are after and retouch fewer images with better results.

    That being said, I use actions for building up my layer palette (folders, db-layers, retouching layers), sharpening (if the images are somewhat similar, saving etc.

    Theres are tons of sites with tutorials for getting different looks, but there is a lot of crap out there.

    • yep, a lot of crap which is why i thought of starting this thread. :)SteveJobs
    • btw, i'm not interested in *creating* actions, just seeing the steps in them and learning from that. make sense?SteveJobs
    • I get it! Sorry if I sounded negative... ;)Stian
    • Although I think the best way to learn is by looking at tutorialsStian
