Re: Magenta Highlights in V5 RAW Coversion

Perhaps this is the message board thread you were thinking of: http://www.dl-c.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=114 . As illustrated in the thread, I tend to favor the Paint Tool in 'HSV-Hue only mode' to remove possible magenta and/or cyan casts from PWP5 CR2 RAW file conversions where there are c...

Re: Sports team photo with new background and reflection

Do you have a preference medium resolution image and background that you could post on the web, advising the url? I did something similar 6 years ago using PWP3.1.h and it should be a bit easier with PWP5's added features... but this process is rather image specific and not easily detailed using a m...

Re: Flash reflection

The best approach is one that is understood to obtain one's preferences and your result with a mask and ColorCorrect is very creditable. The following are some alternatives that can be done depending upon one's tolerances for manipulation and preferences: (1) One could use a highly transparent (90-9...

Re: Using hue curve to "get the green out of yellows"

The illustration below may be of help in selecting hue ranges, hues, control points, and editing control points of "*.crv" files in text form. It should be noted that HSL-Hues = HSV-Hues. The color space model becomes important when further editing 'Saturations' and 'Lightness' or 'Values'...

Re: PWP's Composite-Blend transform & RGB Gamma's

My experience is that the 'RGB Gamma1 blending' is a more important consideration when one creates "virtual images" such as mattes, frames, portrait backgrounds, etc... or other 'graphics' ...posters, calanders, annoucements... etc. For photo realistic image processing, the 'RGB Gamma1 ble...

Re: Using hue curve to "get the green out of yellows"

Not having ACR to verify, I interpret from the quoted description as follows: (1) "zigzag" = Broken Line; (2) "HSL" = HSL color space model; (3) "-18 (less green) = decreasing the G hue by 18 on a 0 to 255 scale; and (4) "+18 for blues" = increasing the B hue by 18...

Re: PWP's Composite-Blend transform & RGB Gamma's

BobC -- a very neat way to obtain the CMY Overlay image -- thank you. Perhaps one other comment will help... ...why a 75% tone [191] image illustration rather than a 100% tone [255] Red-Cyan example that the DPR forum's OP used: Changing a 100% toned/color image whose Gamma is 2.22 to 1.00 will have...
