Far too often, our best photographs live on storage drives these days, and only seem to get out for an airing on a Facebook or Instagram post. This virtual existence seems at odds with the real-world nature of photography. Transforming your photos into real, physical prints is an absolute joy - especially if you haven't done it for some time.

Just letting an inkjet printer squirt your shot into the physical realm isn't the way to do it, though. Sure, you get a print-out - but you really want a considered print, carefully arranged and meticulously presented. For this reason, we've produced a set of Photoshop Actions. Not only do they resize your photo to the most convenient paper sizes at the exhibition-quality resolution, but they also add a neat white margin and an optional black keyline border, and even give you the chance to add a title and photo credit. Even better, once you've loaded the Actions, everything is done in a single mouse click!

STEP BY STEP PRODUCE PRO-LEVEL PRINTS

Don't let your shots languish on a storage drive - here's how to show them off at their best
