How about a thread where we can share editing resources such as Actions, Gradients, Textures, Brushes, Flares and all that stuff that makes a picture alot better?
So what are you waiting for? Get sharing!
I'll start off...
With out light there is no dark, Light creates feeling, atmosphere, drama and mood.
I was asked about the techniques i use to create shiney sunshine in my edits. I mentioned it only takes minutes to achieve great results once you get in the zone of doing it and to show how easy it can be, i created a Photoshop Action using the technique i came up with.
Here are a few examples of pictures i ran the action on. These honestly took 2 minutes each to edit.

I hate that last shot of the viper!

Of course this action won't improve every photo, you will need to experiment to see what happens.
The action is completely non-destructive to your original photo so it is easy to adjust the layers to suit your taste.
Not sure if this will work in Gimp, i doubt it but maybe someone can recreate it using Gimp to share with people who don't have Photoshop?
To download the Zip folder containing the action click on the link below and share what you create using it. Have fun!
Here are some more examples of shiney sunshine in my gallery all using similar techniques contained in the action...but without using the action per sé!
These took longer than 2 minutes to edit!

As you can see...a nice light effect can take an average shot and turn into an eye catching beauty
Don't forget if you share anything you've found elsewhere on t'internet and it isn't your work...don't forget to credit the creator if you can and maybe share a link if you feel like it 👍

. It gives an effect similar to one found in Adobe Lightroom (can't recall its name).
