Thanks for the information man – I’ll look into them for sure.

“When do you leave?”

The morning.

Cheers

You are welcome Carl, I found these actions far easier to use and master then the luminosity masks. I don't think you are going to mind escaping the computer world for awhile! When do you leave? Ron Thanks Mark, I think you will like those actions.

I don’t think you are going to mind escaping the computer world for awhile! When do you leave?

I'm gunna have to run by Tony's site and get that set of actions off him ... of course, I'm about to leave the world of computing for a little while too, so it may be a project for later. :) I tried his luminosity masks a year or so ago, when he first posted them on NPN, and it was a total disaster. :) Thanks for posting the 2nd shot. Cheers Carl Hey Ron,

I have been using Tony's luminosity masks for awhile and love them. Incredibly powerful stuff for the control they offer. I still haven't tried the saturation one, but your post reminds me I need to.

With the saturation action, I was able to desaturated the flower, and saturate the buds. Here is the unadjusted verion:

You know Carl, I have just started playing around with his actions, so aside from a couple of photos on the blog here, I really haven't used it, but I really think it is a useful tool I will probably use it a lot. Glad to hear you say our stuff isn't overdone because I think we border on that at times - it is like a pendulum, sometimes I think our stuff is overdone, then sometime I think it underdone, the harder I look the more uncertain I become. :) That is a good idea - I will have to dig up the original. Thanks guys!

Coming from you this is a huge recommendation for Tony's masks, I've always thought your work is some of the best processed stuff I see on the web - it always snaps without being overdone. How long have you been using the masks? Cheers Carl Hey Ron

Damn! it is practically glowing. it might take me a while to digest this information but it is good to know. what I have found frustrating is dealing with pure yellow areas of wildflowers, petals, etc... because it is the fastest color to posterize even with little adjustment and yet at times it still looks undersaturated in some cases.
