Great tip that I had learned before and forgot. Thats why these entry level tutorials are so helpfull. Speaking of LAB mode, are we ever going to see Dan Margulis again in LAs Vegas. If he could be a little more consumer-friendly, he was an excellent teacher.

Neat tip, I’ve never work in LAB mode, I just may have to give it a try. Thanks.

Great article as usual, but I would really like to see something on perfecting skin tones.

I forgot to change the Mode back to RGB, when I reopened the saved image in LR, LR seemed to have converted it to RGB

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reminder on LAB! I follow your 7 point system, but I always forget the LAB step. Love what you and RC are doing with Killertips!

Thanks,

Dennis

A great tip Scott. This works like a charm. I prefer to duplicate the layer first to allow me to selectively apply this fantastic effect. I can then use the Opacity slider to control the overall impact on the image or add a mask to paint it where I want this to apply. I will definitely be using this tip!!!

Hi Scott — in that case, before you convert to LAB mode; duplicate your background layer. Then, when it asks you if you want to flatten, click “Don’t flatten.” Then do the Apply Image move, and convert back to RGB (it will ask you again if you want to flatten. Choose “Don’t flatten.” Now you can add a Layer Mask and paint over any areas that don’t want to have the effect. Hope that helps 🙂

Scott,

Interesting tip. However,if there are some other objects in the photo (animals for example) that I don’t want the color shift to apply to, I can’t seem to make a mask work on that layer. When I paint with a black brush I get a transparency.
