My most-used Photoshop add-on, plugin, action set (etc) is

A few months ago I met Kevin. He was judging a series of photos for a local group. Mine was one of those photos. I learned more in the 2 minutes he spent on my image than I had for all of the other "learning" I had done for the months before that.
I liked his blunt style and how he was brutally honest with his thoughts.
We need more people like Kevin.
The 3 Nik plug-ins and the 2 onOne plug-ins are exactly the ones that I use with some frequency.
