For years, I've wanted the same thing, [USER=114700]revnart[/USER], but haven't been able to find anything that really works.

One (sorta-kinda) approach is to use a "match colors" type of approach. For example, this guy:
http://foksmarx.com/
https://www.ephotozine.com/article/foksmarx-recolorst-and-recolorle-photoshop-plug-ins-9394

came up with his RecolorST plugin. It works somewhat better than PS's native "match colors", BUT, IMHO, it still doesn't come close to what I would really like, nor does it give you the direct adjustment that you get with PS's native, straightforward, do-it-yourself GradientMap tool.

Another technique is to make yourself a little library of Gradient Maps. I've done this to colorize the skin tones in old B&W photos, and it works fairly well ... at least it gives one a few decent starting points.

Sorry I can't be more encouraging. If you find something, let me know, LOL.

[QUOTE="Tom Mann, post: 1533733792, member: 74903"] For years, I've wanted the same thing, [USER=114700]revnart[/USER], but haven't been able to find anything that really works. One (sorta-kinda) approach is to use a "match colors" type of approach. For example, this guy: [url]http://foksmarx.com/[/url] [url]https://www.ephotozine.com/article/foksmarx-recolorst-and-recolorle-photoshop-plug-ins-9394[/url] came up with his RecolorST plugin.

Another technique is to make yourself a little library of Gradient Maps.
