Go on then if you were to recommend to someone to use a certain action or a filter... what would it be?
Use the delete button more often. :D

Tough one that. Selective masks scare so many people but are so useful once mastered. I love using multiply layers to boost contrast.
Filters, I only use USM and photo filters.
I've got a few actions I use including a couple I've recorded:
High Pass Sharpening which doesn't introduce any noise.
Colour Boost using Lab mode.
Some I've downloaded:
Edgarian Blur
Midnight Sepia
Midnight Black
Velvia
B&W with which you can go back and adjust levels and curves if required.
A good source for free actions is Action Central (http://www.atncentral.com/)
I agree with the high pass sharpening it is a doozie. :clap:
I also like to magic wand the sky and adjust the levels to bring out the colours and clouds that sometimes are lost in the metering for backlit situations.
