Some of my favorite photoshop plug-ins, they have saved me numerous hours on my editing. Try them and they WILL cut your editing time in half.
Here they are:
Noiseware by Imagenomic. I absolutely love this photoshop plug-in. Why you ask? This plug-in allows me to remove "Noise" from my pictures. So, let's say I am photographing a wedding at 3200 iso (due to the low lighting conditions). Naturally, there will be a lot of "Noise" in the photographs. It would be very challenging for me to make average quality 8x10s. After running the 3200 iso file through "Noiseware", "Noiseware" will give me a file that will look like it was photographed at 1600 iso. I know at 1600 iso I can easily create "AWESOME" looking 16x20.
Portraiture 2 by Imagenomic. I remember one time like it was yesterday, me trying to edit the skin imperfections to make it look good. A click here and a click there. After two hours, I was still clicking away at the same photograph. Now, I just run the photograph through "Portraiture 2" and two seconds later my skin imperfections are gone.
Sliver EFEX PRO by Nik Softwar. Converting my photographs into black and white has gotten a lot easier with "Sliver EFEX PRO". All I really do is, bring my file into "Sliver EFEX PRO" and it gives me board load of options. Like: high key, low key, and etc. If I don't like any of the option it has, it gives me an option to customize the black and white look. If I want, I can save that customize look. Next time I want to have the same look and feel, all I do is press a button and here it comes. How cools it that?
Photo Suite 5.5 by OnOne Software. If I really want to get creative, I just run my file through "PhotoTool" (it's part of the suite). Click on the presets and it will give me "AWESOME and CREATIVE" effects.
Of course, I have my own photoshop actions (Photoshop - Mark Kumar Actions). If you like you download them for FREE, at: http://www.facebook.com/MarkKumarPhotographer
