Photoshop actions and plugins for photographers

Photographers who own ‘Adobe Photoshop’ software, can use action plugins to do repetitive tasks such as sharpening, converting to black and white, adding more color, correcting blue yellow or red tint within a photograph and many others. Photoshop actions help save you time when it comes to digital editing, therefore leaving you more time for taking photographs.

Listed below are free photoshop actions and plugins of use specifically for photographers. For those that have never used actions, I’ve also included a video demonstration at the end of this post that explains how to install them.
