    Need help in finding a lost technique

    Thank you for your reply and patience. It seems that I've a lot to learn about both Photoshop _and_ asking questions. You are correct, the washed-out gray image was only one of several adjustment layers to achieve the final affect. Perahaps the "lost technique" is a simple matter of infatuation...

    change color and leave texture

    As with all plugins, it has pros and cons. But, generally I like the plugin and use it just to ckeck things out after making a skin tone change. If I warm up a particular subject Skin Tune will make the slight changes that, while keeping the warmth, make the skin look correct. It likewise helps...

    Would you pay a small price to learn?

    I would pay for a really good selection/masking tutorial -- especially fly away hair against a busy background. I've read a lot of them and think that the best approach would be to do the tut via a movie. I know that a good tut would result in a large file, but for those of us who are still...

    change color and leave texture

If the affect is too strong decrease the opacity. In general, "color"...

    Need help in finding a lost technique

    Sorry, the technique was so useful to me I assumed that it would be obvious -- my mistake. I've posted the original and final (using the contrast enhancing layer which is the topic of this thread), and the final (though the small size doesn't do the final justice). Using PS for only 18 months...

    Need help in finding a lost technique

    I have been working with Photoshop for about 18 months now and have recently had a disk crash. I backup regularly but found that actions are saved in a hidden folder (yes, I use Windows) and, therefore, my backup did not save them. I would really like to find a lost technique so any help is very...
