A fellow Photoshop lover/action creator and online friend, Jodi Friedman, has made an amazing action to promote cancer awareness. Here she explains what prompted her to create the action:
"As many of you know from a post a few months back, my father in law has cancer. They originally thought it was lung cancer, but jumped the gun. It is Lymphoma. He has mantle cell lymphoma and it requires extensive chemo (inpatient chemo - hospital 5 days in a row), then out two weeks where he has no energy and feels terrible. Then back in again to do it all again. They expect 10-12 cycles like this, and then if they can get the cancer to shrink, to then do a Bone Marrow Transplant (likely in Texas) - we live in Michigan. They would be gone for many months for the transplant.
As you can tell, life is very uncertain for us. I wanted to make something, just to get more prayers going and hopefully bring awareness too. Most people have been affected by cancer, whether it hits them, a friend, a relative, etc. I just needed to do something... So for now that was making an action.
This action will convert your photo to black and white and then give you 14 different overlays (plus optional defog layer and contrast layer) to choose from. It is simple and fully adjustable. You can combine layer colors for more looks, and adjust the opacity.
To download it, click on the photo below to go to the page on my site where you can directly download. Please tell others to go there and get it to. It will remain posted and free. Thanks!!!
THIS LINK will take you to her blog to download the action. Please take a second to pray for Jodi's Father in Law, and if you are able, make donation to support cancer awareness. Every little bit matters. Jodi is making this action free for anyone who wants it, she only asks that you raise awareness, and donate if you have the resources/ability.

What a great idea to spread the word about cancer awareness. Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness and generosity. It is greatly appreciated! My prayers are definitely with those who are suffering from this disease...and their families. This action will be a great reminder to stop and pray in the midst of editing pictures! I love it! " Give all of your worries to Him because he cares about you." 1 Peter 5:7
This is great. You really did a good job thanks.
