I was contacted by Sleeklens.com about reviewing their Portrait Perfection Collection. Sleeklens is based out of Copenhagen, Denmark. They have designed Lightroom Presets and Photoshop Actions that "work with you, not for you!" This was important to me when reviewing their Photoshop Actions product. I do not typically use many actions on my work; I enjoy more of the natural look for my images. But, if there is a product that could cut my editing time, I'll try it!

I had an upcoming Fourth of July mini-shoot, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to test out Sleeklen's Portrait Collection. This collection comes with 56 easy-to-use Photoshop Actions. Here are a few of my favorites:

- Enhance Tones: Romantic Dance ---> brightens and lightens images

- Enhance Tones: A Girl Like You ---> brightens images

- Enhance Tones: Old Jeans ---> darkens and mattes images

-All in One: Bright and Shiny ---> brightens and lightens images

-Portrait Retouch: Fast Retouch ---> Brightens eyes, darkens and sharpens lash lines

-Vignette: Vintage ---> gives it a matted look

-Vignette: Toned Vignette "Dark"---> darkens edges

-Color Correction: Reduce reds ---> reduces reds where needed * PERFECT for little Arizona children who always have red cheeks from the heat!!!

I found their product easy to use. Each set comes with directions on how to install and use these actions if you are new to editing your photos. This set comes with a good amount of well-rounded actions that are sure to meet your needs and help you achieve the look you are aiming for. 

Here are some before & after images using Sleeklen's Portrait Perfection Collection:
