Last night I had the not so brilliant idea of re-editing every single image on my website. I picked up a few new Photoshop actions in the last month, and after playing around with them for a bit decided that almost every single image that I had previously post-processed was no longer satisfactory. Even though using Photoshop actions in post-processing saves a lot of time, I only managed to get through a few photos before losing my patience and going to bed. Re-editing a million images – especially when you have an almost equal amount of actions to choose from, is tiring. It also doesn’t help that I’m picky, a perfectionist, and can never make up my mind. Anyway, here are a few photos that I did manage to edit. I’m also including the SOOC (straight out of camera) shots as a comparison. One of my favorite Photoshop actions is “PW B&W” by Pioneer Woman, which I’ve used here.

I ran the “PW B&W” action from Pioneer Woman and did a slight unsharp mask:
