I'm not sure what syncing is, I don't use Lightroom, I never do batch stuff and found photoshop could do everything Lightroom could do and loads more. for what I do at least. so never saw any need in using it
but actions I use turn something that would take a couple minutes of messing each time into a one second thing via actions and can link it to the keys on my Wacom tablet so its just a press button thing.
the photos I post on here all need stuff doing with duplication, cropping, size adjusting, channel adjusting and a levels layer and go from there. so that is ideal for setting up as an action as its the same every time for all those bits. again that can take a few mins mucking about each time but an action makes it happen in the blink of an eye.
@LHL an action is basically a recording of the steps you do in photoshop, so you can replay them automatically as and when. ideal if you have to do something regularly or theres loads of steps and you just want to make it in to a one step thing.

@Well_is_it,m 'Sync'is the magical moment I enjoy showing the most! :-)
@Dogtemple, isn't Actions quite similar to syncing images in Lightroom? I fidn it a little crumblesome to work with if you are doing loads of complicated stuff... but I get the point, I wasn't shown that for years...
I think what I want to educate them as well is this - get the basics right when shooting the pics, post production can do a lot but it surly can't save a shit picture... and I have seen it so many times...
