Oh noes! I realized something was wrong with the workflow I was designing. Went back to sketches and BAM, fixed it.
Creating actions for future weddings is so much fun. Now I have pretty nice workflow developed.
New Presetr Fuji 400H preset as an import preset in Lightroom. Then I run the whole exported JPG folder through automated Photoshop action, which adds two Alienskin Exposure custom presets with film grain and a bit faded toning.
Most important part is the scaling, which I do atm. with the "Bicubic automatic" setting in Ps. It sharpens the grain to look even more like film.
I'm not after film look because it's film, but because it looks 'organic' (=more alive).
WORKFLOW:
5 exposures merge to HDR in CS4, save as 32bit Radiance
Toned mapped in Photomatix 3, Save as 8bit Tiff
Adjusted levels, Hi Pass, Noise Reduction, Borders and Texts in CS4, save as Jpg
So today I noticed that the Beta 2 for Adobe Lightroom 3 was out, and I decided to give it a shot. Never really understanding what was that different between LR and Bridge/ACR, I decided to give it a try. What the heck, can't beat the price.
Well, thus far, I love it. I did everything to the image posted here in LR (including uploading it to Flickr!), and it was fairly intuitive for someone already familiar with Bridge/ACR. I LOVE the brushes, too! My only concern is that since I can do so much in LR, I will be lazy and not go into PS when I only anticipate making minor adjustments there.
The second purpose of this post is to invite you all to the Disney Photo Challenge Group. While I'm sure many of you are already members, for those who aren't, this is a light-hearted group with topical challenges. It's not an ordinary "awards" group nor is it a critique group. It's more a fun and community type group...it also happens to be my favorite group on Flickr. So if you haven't checked it out, give it a shot; you might have a good time there, too!

I must admit that I developed Delicious Recipes firstly for myself ;)
I just couldn't stand so many hours it took me to create satisfying colors through Capture NX2, so I struggled to find other way for processing with my beloved colors. And finally I developed them in Lightroom 4 with Color Efex Pro :)
Now I have such an easy way to get my RAW files developed. Now it takes 4-7 hours of work from import to LR to export for a 380-450 wedding. ( Time depends on lighting conditions and retouch needed ). Before, in CaptureNX 2 it took me rather 20-35 hours and it was definitely worth it, as colors were brilliant, but so time-consuming!
I share all the details of my actual workflow for Lightroom 4/5 + Color Efex Pro 4 in Delicious Recipes. All the instructions and tips, combined with all the recipes and presets needed to get beautiful results fast:

I really like this one. I actually took my Canon 24-70 around with me today which I seem to have neglected due to the arrival of some new family members (sigma f/1.4 & canon 135mm) so I didn't want it to feel left out. I love how wide this thing is set on 24mm compared to the 7D crop.
The trees are starting to go bare.. I think Winter is on its way already.

I'm loving the Ektar 100 in medium format, and I'm enjoying the workflow too…the images are almost finished when they come back from the lab. Less slaving, more shooting. I don't enjoy the anxiety that comes with each roll of film, but I'll get over that.
Equipment: Bronica ETR-s 645 format camera, 75mm f/2.8 lens. I shot this at f/5.6 or f/8, not sure. DOF is right on the edge, as the dogs are not that sharp (since they're closer to the camera).
One strobe: Metz Mecablitz 60, camera left. Set to who knows what.
Procedure: First I framed my shot, handholding the camera. I wanted the trees lined up properly, not too much sky etc. Then I set the camera on the tripod. I used my incident meter to get a reading at the subjects' position (pointing back toward the camera), to see what the ambient was in the shade. Let's assume I picked f/8 and whatever the shutter speed was, probably 1/15. That's my ambient, but I want to lower that a stop and use it as fill, so I bump my shutter speed up to 1/30 so I'm underexposing by a stop. And hey it's film, so the highlights in the back, who cares? They're not going to blow out. "Analog HDR" is what I'm shooting here.
I set my light in position - using just the one light, since ambient is providing significant fill. (And I can't fill those trees in the distance, so I don't want the ambient to be *too* dark). I check my strobe with the flash meter and make sure it's f/8. Key is established, fill is established, and let the background fall where it may.
I could have just shot it as is, but I chimped it with a dSLR to make sure the light was in the right position. You can meter light intensity, but you can't meter light "pleasantness". Turns out I didn't have to change a thing, because I'd metered properly.
Oh yeah, CyberSync triggers and a 43" shoot-through umbrella.
