Growing up teaches us two things. One, that life is going to get messy, and two, that our moms alway have some special trick to clean up. No matter how bad the grass stains, what you spilled on the carpet, or how awful the haircut you decided to give yourself looks your mom always had some secret method to make things right. Lights-On and Lights-Out are the closest thing to mom’s little secrets that you will ever come with a Photoshop Action. If you accidentally botch an exposure these actions are here to kiss it and make it feel all better.
