While it’s better to shoot in raw format because it contains more image data than a jpeg file, W sometimes, especially on a long trip, you simply might run out of memory card space. But switch to jpeg and while you may save on storage space, it’s at the expense of getting the best out of the captured image. That’s where this Photoshop Action comes in, offering a boost to contrast, colour, sharpness and impact. It uses a combination of blended layers and adjustment layers that can then be tweaked. You can either download the Action or follow the tutorial and create one yourself, which also means you can add elements or tweak the existing ones.
