This is a photoshop action. It will take an opened normal map (be it a texture or a rendered normal map from your render) and extract the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom data for use in re-lighting a render. The intended use is for using a normal map pass along with the rgb rendered image to re-light or tweak an image using the normal map data pass.
