I added a free action set to my site today that makes it easy to make tonal adjustments to your images.
There are more than 30 actions:
Plus 1/4 Stop, Plus 1/2 Stop, Plus 3/4 Stop, Plus 1 Stop
Minus 1/4 Stop, Minus 1/2 Stop, Minus 3/4 Stop, Minus 1 Stop
Contrast Boost 1-3
Midtone Boost 1-3
Highlights/Shadows Boost 1-3
Punch Shadows
Punch Highlights
Dodge Highlights 1-3
Burn Highlights 1-3
Dodge Shadows 1-3
Burn Shadows 1-3
The Highlights/Shadows Boost use Layer Sets/Groups in
PS/CS. All of the actions use asjustment layers rather than pixel layers to make them easy to adjust and more efficient in their use of RAM and storage space.

This action set is intended to be part of a future TLR Professional Photographic Effects Toolkit.
Look for TLR Split Toning next!
Enjoy!
Cheers,
