What is this "Chocolate Effect"?
I keep hearing about it, like "that image kinda has that chocolate effect" or "i love using the chocolate effect". Where can I get it? Can anyone post an example? maybe a before and after.
Thanks in advance

Follow the link.....if you click on "next" under the pictures...you will see on the upper right hand side what was used for each picture. You will find some of the "chocolate"effects. *´¨)

I wondered if someone maybe had a bigger example, cause from that shot linked it just looks B&W Light, composition, shooting technique matter to the end quality most. -Pekka

Here are a couple And I wouldnt say it's a controllable shade of sepia. It is a simple one click action from Kubota... yeah you can tone down the saturation if you want it less sepia, but it's meant as a one click sepia action... and I LOVE it! www.forever-yesterday.com

I made a bunch of scripts that mimic popular PS actions, and keep them so that nothing gets flattened and I can tweak things. Amanda
