Three other points.
When your working with color in Photoshop.
Use three things:
1) opacity
2) blend modes
3) blend-if

Altering color in the shadows and highlights woks great for a more cinematic feel.

Just out of curiosity..do you use a calibrated monitor? I work on a imac 27inch. I have been reading a bit about calibration and thinking maybe I should.


Your iMac should be fine uncalibrated.
I used to use the MAC 31 inch cinematic display. I calibrated it. Now I use a MAC laptop uncalibrated.

I use 1 and 2 regularly and watched a video on blend-if a while ago but forget about it all the time!

Ok..great..thanks! It seems like calibrating can be hard and I think it is most important if you want the prints to be exactly like what you see on the screen. I think I am just going to send a bunch of portraits to the lab I use for print and see how they look and how close to the screen they are.

Been using 1 and 2 for a long time, only in the last few months have I been messing around with the "blend if"

It has all been experimenting, and I wish there was a really good youtube video, or book on just the "blend if" function. It is SO powerful... (and at least for me, so confusing. I end up doing a lot of experimenting with which slider to use when, and doing a lot of separating the sliders to fine tune......and a LOT of "ctrl Z to undo everything because I buggered it up too much)
