Rusty and Suzi,
The five adjustment layers are from Radiant Vista's CS3 Companion and is, unfortunately, CS3 oriented in terms of Curves and Selective Colour.
The resulting Layer stack looks like this:
- layers.jpg (64.07 KiB) Viewed 1596 times
and from top to bottom is as follows
Colour Dodge - (Paint with Light) - blend mode Color Dodge, filled with black
Colour Burn - Paint with light - blend mode Color Burn, filled with 11% gray
Hue/Saturation for saturation - blend mode Saturation
Selective Color for color balance - blend mode Normal
Curves for color balance - blend mode Color
Curves for midtone contrast - blend mode Luminosity
Levels for brightest and darkest values - blend mode Luminosity
The turorial for the RV layers can be found here -
http://www.radiantvista.com/tutorials/a ... ent-layersOne thing they have changed is the matching of Blend Mode to what I have shown here - it makes sense - if adjusting for lighting, tweak Luminosity only. If for Saturation, tweak Saturation only.
Thw ones I find have the most effect are the Colour Burn and Hue/Saturation - especially when the Hue saturation is targeted to a specific colour by changing the drop down to anything other than master, then clicking in the picture to target a specific colour to tweak.
If anyone wants my modified .atn file, send me a PM and I will be happy to forward it via 4shared.com
