I tried the link but unfortunately it doesn't load for me and I couldn't download it

[palms1]

did you try the link in the next post down ? only i know of someone else who downloaded today and i dont think they had a problem

maybe a mod will see this and sort the link out and post at the begining of this thread for those who want it ? ( if not will have to try a subtle nudge )

I downloaded the zip
there are 2 profiles and a psd file
What exactly am I supposed to do with the 2 profile files ? should I put them in a specific folder or load them from somewhere inside photoshop ?

If you are at all interested in this technique and look, maybe you should read this post from the beginning? All of your posts are asking questions that have all ready been covered in detail.

Do you rename one file before copying the results over the original? Because when I try to open the original only the converted image shows and I had to rename the original, open it and then drag the original over the final image. Is this correct or anyone wants to share more light on this? Also, do you flatten the converted image before pasting it on the original?

Sorry if this questions sound dumb...........

Thanks again

For all the lazy peeps, a recap of post #42:
I am way too helpful with this

- Download this www.aim-dtp.net/aim/download/aim_profiles.zip
- Unzip
- Right click the profiles, and choose "Install". This makes them avail. in PS.
(it's the AIM RGB we're looking for)

- Open a picture
- Edit - Convert to profile -> Adobe RGB (1998)
- Edit - Assign profile - AIM RGB
and again
- Edit - Convert to profile -> Adobe RGB (1998)
- Edit - Assign profile - AIM RGB
- Duplicate Background layer
- Set copy to Multiply
- Still on copy -> Blending Options - Alt-click "Underlying Layer" and drag the white(on the right) slider to about 112.
- Add a Curves layer, and drag the black slider to about "Input 25".
- Take a bow.

I use the history palette to merge my results:

-Take a snapshot of the converted image, just in case you need to go back to it

-Select all, Copy Merged (essentially copying a flattened version)

-go back to the original state above your snapshot in the history palette

-Paste results, set to screen blending mode

Voila!

I try to avoid editing destructively at all costs and this method allows you to maintain the original below all the converted layers. I also take snapshots periodically to compare my results and go back to a certain state at any time.

*Edit* In the process above, you're only working within a single file- no need to open duplicates.
