Have started working thru Richard Lynch's Hidden Power book.(I had already adjusted it with levels and unsharp mask to defog). Was really impressed with what thr RGB_Separation Complete tool did for this image taken through a dusty bus window. Looking forward to what else I learn.

Excellent, Linda.

What a nice result.

Linda, nice job. What a difference. We always steer people to Graffi's and Panos' actions and we often forget that Richard has some really great things too. Haven't seen him here in a while but hope he is still around.

Linda,

Which version of Richard's book are you working with ?

Have a look here on Richard's forum at retouchpro:

I have tested his beta free tools for PSE6 with Windows XP. The installer is not yet ready, but it comes with thumbs and xml files and clear installing instruction. No problem. I have also tested the dynamic duo and color correction for PSE5 in version 6. I could have done the installation manually, but since I have Graffi's Add-O-Matic, why not make it simple?

And I agree the R, G, B separation tool is one I use very often. Not for colour correction, but for B&W conversion, masking and clipping compensation as well as texture enhancements. Working with channels as layers gives so much control and visual feedback. I much prefer it to channel mixing.

Byron, I'm working with The Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements 4. I'm only on the 1st chapter. I like a velvia look to my pics, so really want em to POP. Tx for the kind remarks everyone. I also plan to use for B&W. The color aspect was a nice surprise.

You mention Graffi and PanosFX actions. What of these actions are supported on a Mac? Any others?

Gordon

Gordon, I am not really sure but I don't think either one supports a mac. The best thing would be to go to their sites and see.

here is Graffi's

and Panos's

I had looked at both of them before and saw no mention of Mac. However, I have now googled "actions mac" and found that Grafi does has some Mac actions. I was able to download a free package of approximately 70. Looking at them I doubt I will ever use any of them. But, this thread got me curious. Thanks for the links.

Give them a try, he leaves all the layers intact so you can playing with them. Gives you alot more you can do with them. At least I know he does on the pc versions.
