The only trouble with actions I find, is that you usually need a very similar photo to get even near similar results to those illustrated

Yes spot on & I've found the same with LR, with Presets, some time ago.

It's much better fun 'fiddling with the sliders' but I always forget - after the event - how I reached a certain point & have deleted the original by then :bonk:

Hi, I agree with both your statements but as you no Actions in P/S or Presets in L/R are not set in stone they IMO are just a starting point to a look you want to create and both can help speed up that process, nothing to stop you hitting the play button then adjust sliders to alter the result.

Yes all true.

Using presets in LR taught me a lot as to how an effect was being created but then tweaking the sliders to get more 'my' version of that type of effect. Then saving as my own preset. I have a number of my own with so very weird names to remind me what they did/will do.
