Curvemeister Forum

This is something for you all to chew on... ;D  ...I kill myself sometimes.....

Please post your steps so the new class can follow along.  Those of you in the class please feel free to make your correction in any way you want.  This week forum members use curves and various other techniques to make corrections. 
Our intention is to show off and hopefully open your eyes to some new ideas.

I used ACR to get detail out of shadows. Then in CM Lab mod to set highlight, shadow and neutral (used the white part of a strawberry as neutral) saved and then saturated with slider to 1.20 Problem was to get the size down without loosing too much detail

It certainly is more "open" but the blackberries look odd...can you help the black berries without hurting the yellows??

Greg

Greg, all I know about blackberries is that they are red when they're green :) I'm not sure what they should look like when black :P

More Blue than Yellow....They actually look better as a dark purple...Try to stay on the blue magenta side of Red on the hue clock....

Greg.....My attempt at the Fruit pic. In PS CS5, mostly used "Image > Adjustments > Shadows/Highlights"

Hello.

I experimented with Fruit-Salid1.jpg,  I am using Photoshop CS4.  In one of the images I used Curvemeister with the wizard and in the other used Curves auto.  I plan on continuing my experimentation and depending on the outcome may post some additional images. 

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello.

In the previous message you see the Fruit Salad adjusted with PS CS4 Curves but the CM version did not post.  So, here it is.

Also, how do I select multiple images to post.  I selected the first one and opened it and then selected the second one., however, only the first one posted.  What do you suspect I did wrong with posting?

Thank you

Hello.

Upon reviewing the other posts I noticed the image sent by Tonee using Shadows and Highlights. I experimented with Shadows and Highlights and like this adjustment better then the other two performed by PS Curves and CM color wizard.  I now see the auto feature in PS Curves can have poor results and I probably did not use the CM wizard correctly.  Any suggestions.

Thank you
David Krassen

Greetings....

In order to upload multiple images you need to find the (More attachments) Link next to the browse button on the Additional options.  This will add lines to the listing. 

I'll look at the images and have some suggestions soon.
