About this blog...

Photography has been a passion of mine for years. It is mainly just a hobby and I am always learning something new. The problem I ran into was there is just so much information out there and I was having a tough time organizing it all and keeping track of fun stuff I was finding. I decided I wanted one place to track all my links and misc information that I could access from anywhere, so I decided to start a blog to keep track of various tips, tricks, links and other information. The added bonus of using a blog is not only could I access it from various locations, I also could share it with others that might be interested. Now seeing that there is constantly new information coming out it is clear that this blog will never cover everything. Oh and please note I realize I am by no means an expert on any of these topics. Think of this blog as a starting point for references to help guide you in your search for the information you need.

Oh and if you are wondering I am a Canon, PC, and Photoshop user. So if things seem skewed that way it is only because that is what I use and not because I feel it is the best option nor what everyone else should be using. Always remember to do your research before buying something. Make sure it is the best thing for you, and that you are buying from a reputable site if you are shopping online.

Enjoy the site and feel free to leave feedback, or suggestions of sections to add.

For those really new to this and wondering what actions are here is a brief description

Actions...What are those?
Actions are mini"programs" or keystroke replicators. (macros)

If there is a certain set of steps you do on a regular basis in PS you can "record" these keystrokes into an Action, so in the future, you could accomplish them ALL with the click of one button. Pretty cool huh?

There are many talented photographers and designers out there that have recorded THEIR successful Actions and sell them (or offer them for free from time to time) so we can all more easily replicate the "looks" they achieve in their photos.

You can even have an action for proof sharpening and resisizng or even for embedding copyright info into the EXIF data of each image AND adding your copyright logo on the images for proofing.

Oh and if you are thinking you will never be able to keep track of all your actions.. Never fear there is this great little software program called ActionDex that organizes all your actions for you. It gives you a lot of management ability for your actions..
