 OK Folks,
 
 Before we jump to our new challenge, I was hoping that we could disect our current one a bit.  I was looking at the different results and I feel that mine are not as rich or saturated as some of the others here.  The highlights were kept just fine, but the rest of the image lagged.
 
 What do you think I could do in the post processing that would enhance this?

 Ok....here is yours:
 
  
 I downloaded it, Did a little CMYK and Lab curves adjustment and color balance layers....and this is what I came up with.
 
 
   
 Ya gotta learn to use all 10 color channels (well actually 8 color channels and 2 B&W channels...lol)
 
 The edits become smaller (and less intrusive) and have a finer point.

 Hey George,
 
 A bunch of folks at DPReview were asking about how one would do this in Paintshop Pro.  Would you mind sharing how you did this on a step-by-step basis?
 
 
 
 
 I'll put together a little tutorial when I get some time.

 As to the saturation of the image, I feel that perhaps the colors seem a bit overly hyped up.
 
 
 
 
 I agree. I was going for something different than the great work already done by you and others. I thought I'd go a little cooler, more contrast and sharper just as a different approach. I guess Roman is the one that really knows what the scene really looked like.

You guys just made my day. LOL I saw this post and had to go look up what you were talking about. I have been doing this for my portrait work for a long time now - but I have been hand masking out the 2nd layer. That little trick with the color range tool just saved me a lot of time. Time = money!  Thanks Roman!   |  |  |
