Beautiful girls!!!! Great shot, but I'd have to agree, a bit oversaturated.

BriShay

SOOOOO CUTE!!!! What a great shot. Something that might help with the saturation but still give you the pop you are looking for is use the brush to remove some of the saturation that you don't want to be so...strong. LIke the hair especially in this one.

Great pic though

dawssvt

Great shot. I agree with the above posts about the saturation.

Thanks for the compliments guys. They are beauties. But I'm a bit partial. I used a new action that I bought (I saw someone post about it on the forum, and I liked the style, so I bought the action). I thought their hair did look a little "blue" but I will try to fix that soon and post the results. So, the best thing to do is use the mask to paint over the spots I don't want saturated? Is there a way to reduce it without totally getting rid of it? A different brush maybe? I'm really new at all this.

I appreciate all of your help on these boards. I am learning so much!

just pull back on the saturation slider till you get it the way you want it. Dont feel locked in by the action, use that to get you near to where you want.

Any better? I didn't use the action at all. I just selected the parts I wanted saturated and used the slider. Took a lot longer. Just didn't want to lose the "feel" I wanted for the picture.

I am on an uncalibrated laptop right now, but...

It appears to be plenty saturated still, but definately an improvement over the first version. The girls are definately gorgeous.

Oh....and hello neighbor!!!!:D

Geaux Tigers!!!

Yea...the baseball team finally stepped up to the plate!
(Pardon the pun!)

Do you know the look I am going for? Check out this site.
Maybe you can help a neighbor.

Thanks,

Yes I know the look....and actually like it. I think, though, like many other things a little can go a long way. I would try applying that to a second layer and then adjust opacity to keep it from being overboard. The photograph need not scream "I have photoshop!!" to be a compelling image.

Thanks Jeff. I will definitely try that.
