Gary,

Try the attached curve file using your posted image...
Try to re-create the image from scratch and get it to look like your posted image with my ACV file...

Is what you were thinking of?

Gary

ummm....nope...to contrasty....

Hmmm let's start with SHN for the image.  Then try the contrast pin on the greens.

Greg

[Gary]

Yeah I knew soon as I posted it, thought it looked better on my screen. I am having a bit of a problem knowing where to pick up the adjustment using your .acv. Did you contrast point?

Gary

I just took your image as posted and curved it a bit then saved my curve as an ACV.  My ACV is a possible solution for you...

I am hoping that once you see the image you can re-create it on your own using mine as a guide. 
The ACV is on top of your existing image as posted...You hang in there we'll get this one...

Greg

[Gary]

Started from scratch, I tried your .acv file but on my screen but I get the rocks in the front are showing red with the Hue clock and the cliffs on the left cliff are moving toward Magenta.

Gary,
I'm sorry if I am mis-leading you.

My steps were 1) download your image from the first posting in this thread and then 2) apply my curve to it. 
I am taking your image as posted and adding my correction to it.  You can see the same results by taking my ACV file and adding it to your original posting.

If you want to start over that is perfectly ok...I'll look at any image you want to post and we can go forward from there.  It was not my intent to confuse...sorry if i did...

Greg
