Tempering saturation values in Lab - Photoshop Tutorial
From the course: Photoshop CS5 One-on-One: Mastery
Tempering saturation values in Lab
I've saved my progress as Slightly elevated saturation.psd. Now, in the previous exercise, we applied Shadows/Highlights inside of the Lab Color model. We had to use different settings, because we were getting completely different results otherwise, but in turn, we gained more control and even more importantly, we got better results, because truth be told, the Shadows/Highlights filter works better inside Lab than it does in RGB. However, even though this effect actually looks just absolutely great to me, it's a little too saturated. So this guy's face is a little bit too ruddy. The background's too yellow. The sea is too greenish, that kind of thing. So we just want to temper the colors a little bit, take the Vibrance down essentially. However, if you were to click on the Smart Object thumbnail in order to make it active and then drop down here to the Black-White icon and try to choose Vibrance, you'll notice it's dimmed. Vibrance doesn't work inside of Lab, which is kind of ironic…
