Canyon Conumdrum

[-default]

I do like the canyon colors.  You're right the sky is too green - this may call for a mask.

indeed!

but I doing two yobs,  in fact three.
first , On my right site the computer is finished with rendering a DVD film.
So i must set another one.
After that, I must going om with the new version of CM and the canyon and third, i must bring my grandchild to the school about 13:00h ( local time is now 11: 43 H)

So I am busy you see!

So I thrown away the commercials now and going on with rendering the "The Italian JOB" to a DVD

I can see you are very busy.  It is time for people in California to go to sleep and leave all the hard work to Frits!

[mikemeister_admin]

I thought  about 9 hours.
So you are very late!

so going on with the new CM. till now no problems.

[mikemeister_admin]

doing a mask.

but the hue clock said it is still on the green site.

Also did a saturation of 1.20 in Lab mode.

I going on!

[mikemeister_admin]

doing again masking!
the problem is that I not control the masking very good.
I must have it from the hidden Power of P.S. E. 4.0/Powermasking in P.s.e 4.0.
So I did colormasking and set the hue a little.

I will try or another masking technics does it better.
I have seen there are details in the sky, and for now , I losing this by masking.

So doing it now with GML.
then it is easy and I could satisfy each mask-
also the clouds stay there.

for this moment it is the final solution, till I found other masking technics to do it better.

Here are two alternatives of mine, using my new Linear Light Flat Curve technique (needs a better name).

[mikemeister_admin]

And here's a bit redder one (some sky noise that would obviously be removed in a more important image):

[mikemeister_admin]

Thought I'd have a play as well !

Jacob, what would be interesting is if you could also submit your curves - that way we all quickly learn from our betters!

My rendition is a single pass with an added 66% Lab sat adjustment to enhance the colours.

I am really very impressive for a single pass with this new method, but I could not get rid of the magenta cast on the far rim and keep the sky.
