I am an amateur photographer, and have been into digital photography for about a year now. I mostly take photos of my kids and other people. I have learned so much!

Recently I have done a few photo shoots for friends. It was great practice. I took some outdoor shots of a 4 and 6 year old, and some photos of my sister in law with her 3 month old baby.

I have so many photos and I am not really sure what to do for post processing.

I was thinking that some action sets might help speed up my post processing. Does anyone have any recommendations for action sets that would be great for portraits and people photos?

for kids.. i love childsplay actions a lot. they are fun to use.. you can use them in any combitation.. on my flickr page.. you can see results of them with anyshot of a kid in it.

i do tweak them a little bit on my own. but they offer some really excellent results.

Thanks ShannD. Those look really nice.

I was also looking at the 1-Click Actions Portrait Kit. Does anyone have any experience with those?

This is a great site for free actions - some good, probably something for most needs.

Also fellow POTNers Cheetapita and Andrea BFS are both great portrait Photoshoppers and have actions available.
