post production – photoshop actions

[Erik Thijs]

Hi,

Fairly new to photigy, watching tutorials in the Pro Club.
Post production contains some Photoshop actions. Is there somewhere an overview of what these actions do of what is contained in these actions?

Tnx,
Erik

Hello Erik and welcome to Photigy. We will help you in the right direction. What particular content did you see those actions? Most of the actions we use in our stuff is easy to recreate. We use them just to shave off some time during the process 😉

Let me know and I will make sure our PP Guru gets here

Hi Morten,

I was looking at the Halloween workshop #75. In postprocessing there’s an action “16 bit” that he’s using. I’d like to know what exactly this action does.

As said, fairly new to all this, so maybe a beginner question 🙂

I’m actually curious about this as well. I edit all my photos in 16 bit and only when I (temporarily) merge all layers down by flattening the image I can see the result without the banding.

It seems like 16 BIT action is to convert the image to 16 bit but it is not clear as the image remains 8 bit after that action.
