These are good! Maybe you could convert to black & white? That might make them "match" better. Either way- these are wonderful. I reallylike the 2nd one.

Whereas I really like the interaction between you son and his environment in the last one! This is a winner for me!

I like the last one too. Like the compostion of it. Like the middle one also just wish you could see both of his hands!

Two can play that game!



1) Change mode to LAB
2) invert the curves on a and b, but make them not completely steep (see grabs below).
3) Change blending blending options so that it only applies to the underlying layer when it's blue.


The curves:




And the blending options:

Showoff with your fancy screen captures and Lab color :devbobo. All I did was:

• Selective color on the hat
• with the hat selected, new Hue Saturation Layer, Saturation to -100
• with the hat selected Photo Filter layer, cutom color picked from his sweater
• Done

Although if you look close I could have spent more than 2 seconds on the selection, the top is a little off .

Thanks everyone Hmmm....ok, now I'll have to play with the color on the hat

I guess this is a little more difficult than it looks. I don't have photoshop but I tried to figure out how to duplicate the basic steps in Gimp, which I do have. No luck...but then again, I don't understand the more advanced features of Gimp or Photoshop. I think Gimp has many of the Photoshop features...but I have never really dug in too deep into doing these sort of edits. If anyone uses Gimp and can provide the basic steps to make the color change in there, I can run with that.

Trying to use Nikon Capture NX hasn't fixed me up yet either. I thought with the color control point technology in NX, it might be even easier using that, but so far no luck.
