In a desperate attempt to get this thread back on topic

have you tried Chanel Mixer to 'move' the red into the blue or something?

Oh c'mon, that was a beauty thread jack, eh!

Anyway, he said it came to him cmyk. I would suggest going to LAB and messing with it there, it's tricky but very powerful once you get the feel for it.

jezza · October 04, 2007, 03:42:43 PM

You're quite right, it was a beauty

LAB is cool, but not for everyone...

Ear · October 04, 2007, 04:08:39 PM

True that my friend. It is hard enough to learn correction in RGB but it is nice to know LAB if you're converting back and fourth because it doesn't thrash the values like CMYK to RGB then back to CMYK! I also like doing Unsharp Mask in LAB, on the lightness channel, lets you sharpen more without as much noise.

I have also been doing more color correction using layered history snapshots.

jezza · October 04, 2007, 04:18:03 PM

Yeah, liking the a lot.

I can't remember exactly what I was doing last week, but I do remember being extremely short of time and converting the image to CMYK so I had a black channel came in very handy. Quick and dirty and wrong but it worked - a quick adjustment in channel mixer. Printed piece looked fabulous. Much better than we expected and on uncoated paper. Just lucky I guess

Hey, quick, dirty and wrong are usually 3 very good ingredients... well... maybe more on a saturday night than at work but I'm all for cross training.

Well it beats the shit out of cross dressing on a Saturday night

Damn, off topic straight away

Don't worry, I'm just off to moderate myself

Cross dressing? Hey, it was only that one time, I was in college, who doesn't experiment! LOL

You're easy to pull off topic at this hour, I'm surprised you're still up!

jezza · October 04, 2007, 04:52:29 PM

Yeah you're right, it's midnight right now, gotta go to bed.

Things I like? I try 'em twice

Don't forget SCTV, where Bob & Doug McKenzie came from!

Doug McKenzie: Figures you wouldn't know how to work it if it's got a computer.

Bob McKenzie: Oh yeah, Mister Wizard, you know, eh...

Doug McKenzie: Let me try, I'm a genius.

I use the 3rd line all the time when someone can't get something to rip, print yada yada

SCTV.... soooo funny! How about Kids in the Hall, it was like a twisted Canadian SNL and it was actually produced by Lorne Michaels.
