Hi Stella -

Probably 5 or so years ago (around the time of the thread in photo.net that I cited), I looked over a bunch of actions that purported to give a soft lighting effect.  They did, but only when applied to the example image shown in the advertisement.  As soon as I tried them on images that differed in very minor ways from the example, none of them worked very well.  So, I will be very, very interested to hear if the action this person recommended holds up to scrutiny.  By any chance, can you tell me which action they liked so I would be able to test it myself?

Also, if it really works, one of the very nice things about actions (compared to plugins) is that you can easily see how they work and tweak individual steps, if needed.

 

Thanks for pursuing this.

Cheers,

Tom M
