I think I know the one you are talking about. Correct me if I am wrong but didn't it involve makng a pattern from the Red Channel, setting the healing brush to Color and selecting your newly made pattern from the Red Channel as a source. I can't remember the finer details but remember it worked quite well on red stains. I can't find it either.

By the way, great job on the damaged slide Ken. I look forward to the tutorial.

Sincerely Syd

Hi Syd.

Yes. That’s the one. Russell Brown seems to have removed it from the internet. It worked very well but maybe RB removed it because there are now other ways. Apply Image (as Murray used), Selective colour (As Carolyn used) or simply adjusting levels on the channels, and now there is Match Color for CS Users, however I did find RB’s method fascinating and I remember enough to reproduce it. I will write it up as a tutorial so that the method is saved.

Hi Jim.

I don’t see the image in the archive yet.

All images have to be approved by Doug before they become available, but your name should be showing in the ‘Last Photo Uploaded’ area (Arrowed)

Apparently the Archive will NOT accept Tiff images. The file must be a jpeg up to 500 Kb (max)
So it seems that the Tiff file has been rejected by the system.
Maybe you would like to try again with a jpeg file.

Ken.

Hi Ken,

Will do.

Ken,

I posted the image as a .jpg. The process was different this time and I can see that the image is awaiting approval.

Ken, it still exists (I made a copy just in case), just not on Russell Brown's sites. The only way I found it was using links from RetouchPro threads

Thanks for finding that CJ. I had a go at it using the tutorial but ended up using Curves in the end anyway. I couldn't quite get the Brightness to match exactly and that was partly because the stain is not a uniform brightness - it fades towards the hair. I suspect all those moves could be done in Apply Image anyway and it would probably be less cumbersome than defining and pasting patterns.

Sorry, fiddling again. I lightened the skin tones.

Hi CJ.
Great find. I searched Google and RP for that link but every link I found was dead.
With your help with the site name I found the list of all the tutorials at vanwijk
The url is
http://www.vanwijk.com/-=%20Bookz%20...ed%20Training/

I have added this link and the one direct to RBstains to our library so (hopefully) they will not get lost again.

Thanks Again. You have saved me from writing a tutorial.

Syd.

Ken

That's funny, I found it too but didn't see Ken's post of it on the 10th. Oh well, At least we have it!
