I haven't done this in a few years so sure hope this was explained right.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811141286384576654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592267330696248230.post-67169604119666091802009-01-20T11:23:00.000-08:002009-01-20T11:23:00.000-08:00Wow!

But if you happen to have only one thing in the shot of a certain color...say a red door...you might try desaturating the red channel on an adjustment layer while leaving the other channels in tact. Sometimes that works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592267330696248230.post-74458177643543995392009-01-19T15:10:00.000-08:002009-01-19T15:10:00.000-08:00Nice photo, and a very nicely done tutorial.Nice photo, and a very nicely done tutorial.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592267330696248230.post-23614903412687986172009-01-19T14:59:00.000-08:002009-01-19T14:59:00.000-08:00Thanks for the tutorial.
