Warning! Geek Alert! A Post on Workflow
This post is for the photographers who read my blog... I know Lightroom is all the rage these days, but if you convert your RAW files with ACR like I do, you will want to read this post! Using xmp files save a lot of time in post-processing. I have had so many people ask me about my post-processing that I've decided to make all thirty-four of my personal xmp files available to those who want them for $60. You just need PSCS2. Shoot me an email and I'll give you the details! jules@julesbianchi.com.
I LOVE PhotoShop. I started with PS 4, and I now love using Bridge to convert my RAW files into jpegs. Even though I'm a Mac girl, I have a right-click mouse and use a pull-down menu to batch process many images at once with xmp files. I have even invented many of my own xmp files to create unique looks and cut down on jpeg-fussing time. Here is an example of a few black and white xmp files I've created - these images were made in Bridge using ACR. No actions on the jpegs at all.
This is a funky look I just created tonight...I'm calling it "vintage blue" and here you can see how it looks on several images.
And this is a look I created a very long time ago. I just call it "dramatic". 
To give you an idea of how easy it is, this is what my pull-down menu looks like.
