Hi Mike,

I don't know how to post a picture to the class! Please show me how to do it.

Attached herewith is the Example 1 that I've done. Please post it for me.

I found the RGB version for setting Shadow Point more colorful than the LAB version. Is there any reasons?

Also, I don't understand your sentence  "Drag this point around a little bit until you have broken up any solid areas of black."?

Thank you in advance!

When you post to the class, click on "Additonal Options" at the bottom of the window, and Browse for the image.  Here's a link to a help file that shows how to do this.  (After clicking on this link, click on the "Additional Opotions" item in the documentation to see the Browse button.:

No problem.

This is very observant of you, and one of the things that I hope people will learn from the example.  Yes, RGB adds color if you increase the contrast.  Usually this is a good thing, but not always.

As you drag around the shadow point that you created on the image, you'll see specks of black under the shadow point.  The idea is to make sure that any areas that you care about are not solid black.

Mr. Greg Groesse,

Your advise on "moving the points around" are very useful! :D
