I'm finding the coverage (or lack there of :-) of Jennifer Hawkin's nude cover on Feb 2010 Australian Marie Claire endlessly amusing. First of all who uses the term 'air brushing' anymore? And second of all it seems completely arbitrary to me that she can have the best make-up, photographers and lighting but entering the digital darkroom is a no no. lol, like nothing happens in camera. Yawn! This argument is so tired.
I got a number of books on Photoshop for Christmas which I am slowly working my way though. I suppose it's not unexpected that Margulis would say that LAB is almost always better than RAW processing but personally I found it a total relief to have such a definitive answer and am in the process of adjusting my workflow accordingly. Towards the end of 'Professional Photoshop' it actually started to make sense, gasp! Now if I can just tie that together with the Russell Brown tutorial where he changes the file's color space and makes extra channels (can't find it again, if you know what I'm talking about please send me the link) then I am in for some fun experimenting.
I also received Steve Caplin's 'How to Cheat' which is totally mind boggling - how can he be so organized and creative at the same time? I accidentally got it for CS4 and I am so glad that I did because it gradually explains the new features.

Methods for channel blending usually involve destructive methods such as Apply Image or Channel Mixer. But there is another method that is not only nondestructive, it also allows you to use the power of layers when dealing with channels. Here's how it works:

I have never encountered this sort of problem, but I have heard of it and would like to know how to resolve the situation in case i do have to deal with it...here it goes: What if one of the channels of a file got lost or deleted..how would one go about replacing a color channel?

When looking at an individual primary channel in Photoshop, the image is lighter. Can somebody help me understand this? Something that is not perceptually neutral is happening behind the scene.
For example, a b&w image's RGB channels all look the same when I turn on each one individually,...05-06-2010, 01:11 PM
go here to read more;
there is a detailed discussion of the Margulis' books on DGrin.
and keep in mind the Margulis wrote those books before there was ACR (Adobe camera raw) which makes some of his arguments in favor of the Lab color space obsolete.
