Vibrance Effect for CS4 and pre-CS4

I created a Photoshop action set for adding a Vibrance-type effect to pre-CS4 versions of Photoshop and to provide a stronger effect and more control over the effect in CS4.
The action set creates three masks:
-- skintone mask
-- high saturation mask
-- vibrance mask
The vibrance mask combines he skintone mask and the high saturation mask. This provides Vibrance-like effects when used with a Hues/Saturation adjustment layer. Skintones are protected from ugly casts, highly saturated colors are protected from clipping.
There are five different levels to the effect. Adjustment layers are used to make it easy to adjust the effect. By default, the layers are set at 75% opacity to make it even easier to adjust.
The link includes a page with before and after effects that also compare the TLR Vibrance action effect with the effect from the classic Saturation command.
