In processing standard settings Canon 10D RAWs
–(adjust exposure & WB in FVU)–> 8-bit TIFs
–(batch Photoshop 7 actions)–> JPGs
I use same P7 action on ALL photos regardless of lighting & subject & deliver JPGs + "unactioned" TIFs to clients who can make their own JPGs if they don’t like mine.
My current automated P7 batch action is, in order:
Image Size: change resolution from 180 to 300 as demanded by most clients Unsharp Mask: Amount: 500%, Radius: 0.3, Threshhold: 0
Master Hue -10, Master Saturation +50
Reds Hue -5, Reds Saturation -20
Yellows Hue -10, Yellows Saturation -40
Greens Hue -5, Greens Saturation -10
Blues Hue -5, Blues Saturation -10
Contrast +5
Save as highest quality JPG
Any advice on improving my automated batch action appreciated. Are any important actions missing? Due to nature of my work, it is not efficient to do individual actions on individual photos. Also, my clients tend to prefer saturated, rather than ordinary, colors, as long as they are believable — see example:
