well i'll say one layer with original image, one layer with AIM RGB and u mask?
no?

No! :-)

The conversion to RGB will automatically flatten all layers even if you hide one layer. Try it

??? Mantain a copy? Paste it after you have done the conversion?

My thoughts work on a duplicate and paste it back into the original after making the aim changes on the dup.

here's my try... ^_____^ nothing much..

sirespen · #**111** 08-11-2008, 05:29 PM

Hmm, I'm afraid you can create this look with every image....

This is an absolutely incredible thread- Thanks to everyone who contributed! I had the chance to play around with this technique today on a variety of photos I just took. Out of the four candidates I tried, I was only satisfied with the attached result. For those who are experienced in this technique, are you able to tweak it to apply to any photo, or do you find it only works with a certain kind of subject? If so, what would you say defines the right type of subject?

For anyone interested, my workflow for this photo included doing the profile conversion/assignment steps twice, followed by copying and pasting the result over the original in the Screen blending mode, and sandwiching a Curves layer between the two tweaked to add some cyan, blue, and green. Final touches with a slow-flowing white brush on a blank layer set to "overlay"

Welcome Michael glad you are getting some good results. Yes i do think that it works best on certain images but still in the process of working out which ones,
