Colin, another great way of editing images via Lab colors – never have run across it in any other tutorials of which I’ve taken a few.

One little curve-ball that threw me a bit was when you had a Curves adjustment panel open and chose Select / Color Range – and your selection applied immediately to the Curves adjustment layer – mine did not. Then I realized that you had a (default all white) mask active on your Curves layer before you chose Select / Color range. The light bulb went on that I needed to either add a mask on the Curves layer beforehand or check the ‘Add Mask by Default’ option via the little drop-down arrow on the Adjustments panel. Checking that option automatically adds a default all-white mask to any new layer that you create if I have it right.

Collin,
That is such a great job you’ve done to teach us! Thank you.
I have a question, after I applied color range, I saw its effect in a small icon, but not on a screen like in your case,
can you, please, give a hint how to make it visible on the whole image?
Thank you one more time!

Colin,
Bloody marvelous tut! LAB is the “only” way to go to edit your photos. You have an almost infinite amount of adjustment choices along with masking possibilities.
You know what would be really cool – include a text list (1,2,3 etc) of the steps you cover in the video. That way we don’t have to scroll around looking for the section we want to review.
Thanks so much for your generous sharing of you knowledge.
