Magi bullets for photoshop

Anyone knows if there are some CC presets for photoshop, like MB for video?
Yes, i'm lazy.

If you really are that lazy you can buy some filters that will do the work for you.

don't be lazy. to do a quick color correction would be quicker than trying to install and apply a preset. use curves and levels. what kind of look are you going for?

ok milk, thank you.
they look a little clichè. i'm looking to obtain a bleach bypass so its better i move my as* and learn some CC (or open another post...)

hey ice, you posted while i was writing. I'm going down on curves and levels. Btw do you have some tips for a nice bleach look?

 

[milksac]

Yeah, lazy is an accurate description. I googled "Photoshop bleach bypass" and came up with this tutorial.

It will take some effort like reading and clicking the mouse but I'm sure you can muster up the strength.

my favorite way is to duplicate the layer, then turn the top one on blending mode "color" then go to the underneath layer and adjust your curves, bending down the dark side and pushing up the light and messing aronud a littel bit until you get a look you like. then on the top layer, you go into edit>adjust>hue/saturation and you can adjust your saturation there, and if you want to warm it up or cool it, then make an adjustment layer and adjust your curves individuall, ie, drop the blues to make it goldish.

this is a little exaggerated, but an example. i did it in about 45 seconds.

more examples?
heres the same thing but warmed up quite a bit.

so if you put some time into it, and mess around a bit more, you could get it looking pretty cool.
