Touch of Light Touch of Darkness

We are always looking for and creating new actions to speed things up and creatively improve our photographs. I came across these today via the 'Digital photography School'.

Jodi also has an interesting Blog full of creative ideas, news, tutorials, actions, tips, etc. http://mcpactions.com/blog/

Check our her simple but very effective tutorial on layers http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/understanding-layers-in-photoshop/

This is what Jodi writes "Have you ever wanted to just lighten the face in your photo? Have you ever wanted to just lighten a part of a photo you did not expose properly? Have you ever wanted to add emphasis to part of the photo by darkening the surround area but leaving the subject lighter? If so, I have a special treat for you. It is an action called “Touch of Light Touch of Darkness.” It will help you achieve this look! I have been getting requests to make and sell an action like this for months. But I have decided as a gift to my loyal MCP Actions Blog Readers to make this a FREE action. In exchange for the free action, I would love for you to spread the word about my blog -tell your photographer friends to come get the action here too. This is a Blog EXCLUSIVE. This one will NOT be going on my regular website.
Here are four before and after photographs using her Touch of Light Touch of Darkness actions.
