I am all for 10 more images Tom Hurd

Dan, I just returned from the ophthalmologist. I have a cataract in each eye, but he did not yet recommend surgery. I was complaining that I might not be seeing well enough on my computer correcting i

Doug, Thank you so much for mentioning Daniele’s site on this forum. It’s been a great place to practice and learn every week! I look forward to seeing your corrections especially every week since I s

I’m willing to pay whatever it takes to keep the group going. If I understand correctly it’s $20/month for the site maintenance. We all probably pay many monthly subscription fees. It wouldn’t cost mu

Thanks for those, Dan! Also thanks for the recommendation for Color Duels. There is a lot more to Danielle’s site than the competitions. He has an archive of many of his previous competitions with vid

When I write my review on the Simultaneous Contrast Book, I will be sure to include that it helped my wife with redecorating! She is now putting blue pillows to bring out the yellow threads in the bro

One of my favorite exercises was the Panama image. I took the moire as a personal challenge to be eliminated. Even though I completely wiped out the nose on Dan’s face (and it wasn’t the only time my

I will say that I have tried channel mixer, but image>apply image is first of all much easier to begin with. I have been using Channel Power Tools, which lends itself beautifully to apply image. I thi

I like all the ways Doug described. Once you have used photoshop for a while, making this extra channels and files becomes second nature. Another way to try the changes to the red channel “risk free”

Also using option key works to give options for MMMCB action and also Bigger Hammer. If you press option for MMM you can try 4 different selections. For MMMCB you can choose two different selections a

Also not sure if this was explicit: You can have whatever your current file is open. You can make a composite layer. Then use apply image on that layer to bring over whichever other (branched) version

Alec, Hold down the option key when you press CB in the PPW panel. You can release the button once the display appears. It will give you a choice of A>B, A=B, or B>A. If you click the buttons on the l

My entry is 1213. I was a bit lost in the wilderness as to the color of this flower as well as the contrast when I started. I spent some time paging through Dan’s books to get an idea of how to regain

Thanks, Roberto. Unfortunately, that did not do the trick. Meanwhile I will just post the way that works. I like to use the share when I am shooting out pics to family mostly, on Text message or email

Dan et al., I sent this to Dan’s account but I meant to post to Dan and the group. I had a problem with my profile changing From sRGB to generic RGB when I share from Photoshop. It does not occur when

Dan, One of the great things about this group and these exercises in particular is learning the principles of what is right. I know you talk in your books about what is a matter of taste and what is r

I took each image and loaded it as a stack. I compared each in normal, color and luminosity mode to the par image at the bottom. I found the par image to still have too much blue cast, and perhaps tha

Rick, Your hunch is correct. Just took a 5 layer stack in VARIANCE mode. Converted to LAB. Took the L channel from the variance mode stack and placed it’s mask on 510 over 511 blended in luminosity. T

John, Thanks for showing that maneuver. I hadn’t tried it before, but it worked very well! Obviously, the having fun with the the stack modes was just a little too much fun when I tried them. Maximum

Sorry for the partial post. I’ve already outed myself as the owner of 827. At Dan’s suggestion in his comments, I did try the multiply though blue mask, and it worked just fine, better than a hue satu
