In Lab

Greg, did you ever try the action I put up here: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/colortheory/Jacob's-Ladder.atn

I am still struggling with this.  I have to go back and re-read the original posting...I just seem to be messing the image up worse that it was...

I can see the subtle adjust ability here and I want to understand more about this.  I'm going to read up again....
Thanks for the nudge...

Here is my stab at it, the first one I adjusted in RGB and the second in LAB. If anyone is still checking this thread, let me know what you think.

OOPS, I didn't add the images...

Brookrouge,

Take your first image back into CM in Lab and try to boost the color a bit...
See what happens to it...It looks pretty good so far..there is more in there as you have seen.

Just found this nice picture. Tried to apply my standard workflow. First corrections in Lightroom, setting neutral, inceasing exposure, contrast, saturation, clarity and some sharpen. Exported to PSE and made some final adjustments in PSE/CM first adjusting colours and neutral in RGB. Then to Lab mode and  fine adjusted BW and increased saturation. Very fast worflow but do not like that I sharpen before going to PSE/CM.

PS There is a blue haze in the background which I tried to limit with a mask and decease blue. DS

I was able to remove the blue hue without using a mask, I'll keep working on it when I have time. Thanks for the feedback.
