Instructional Materials
- Your Working Space And You
- A whirlwind tour of Photoshop® working spaces; what they are, what they do, and why your choices might bite you in the ass when you aren't looking.
- Smart Saturation Masking
- Ever want to punch up the color in an image without blowing it all to hell? This technique can get you more than a little of that old Velvia™ voodoo using nothing but the tools Photoshop® provides right out of the box.
NOTE: The new "Vibrance" sliders in Lightroom and CS3 do just about the same thing, but they operate globally and offer zero control over the masking which is applied, so this technique still holds some value for many common problem cases.
