Ok. So the "upcoming event" happened awhile ago and I believe it went well. Thanks for the kind words and I am glad that people learned something from it.

I have written a tutorial about the selective color masking that I briefly talked about and showed during the "event", and it will be posted soon. It goes past the saturation mask demonstrated a bit, but leaves a lot of room to explore. Its really quite intuitive and I'm sure will be grasped quickly by all. I'll...

It seems that the link posted earlier in my blog has been interrupted. Sorry about that.
