Ok, I couldn't get the gradient map to change the glasses from black to white. Would really like to know how to do this move.

Hi Robert.

I would need to see where in the process you are attempting to do this. It should be a simple matter though.

Hey Chris. I decided I wanted to see if I could pull off the gradient map before making the mask for the glasses. I couldn't get the gradient map right though. I would sign up for a webinar on gradient maps; seems like there is almost no detailed information on them. There are a bunch of tutorials on the web which say set this to that and that to this to get this effect, but nothing that actually explains it.

I was hoping more people would play along w/ the glasses picture. If there is any interest I could link to a larger file for download.

There have been a few threads on retouchpro about turning black to white. Try searching.

Hello Everyone.

I have posted a corrected action to my blog. It adds in the missing RGB channels as requested.

This show was icing on the cake. And like icing, best taken in smaller increments so one doesn't overdose. I felt like I'd jumped in with both feet and found the bottom was way over my head. Needless to say, Chris pulled it all together in a very understandable manner and left me with a whole realm of possibilities. I hope I'm available for the rebroadcast. This is one I want to revisit.

I want to give my thanks for the thought processes as well. That more than anything brought calculations to "life" for me. I also want to say thank you for providing the action. Experimenting with it also helps expand my horizons.

Chris and Doug,

Thanks for the rebroadcast. Anyway in the future to get these with some sort of rewind to the presentation, say maybe a 24 hour time period and the broadcast expires.
