Hi Martin,
Colors are BRIGHT, huh? Ok, when you see my next post, have your sunglasses on first because I'm gonna post up more autumn colors.
Hehe!

Mahesh,
In the endless pursuit of trying to find a workflow combination to preserve an image's color when posting to the web, could you let us know what your workflow combination is to preserve such vibrant color? Thanks!

Hey Mahesh -
It's a gorgeous day out in Issaquah, and I'm hoping to get some beauties like this one today. Hopefully I can get out there!
Nice work.

Hi James,
I really don't have a great workflow to get "vibrant" colors. I treat each picture differently. I mostly work with the curves. I use the RGB curve to manage the darkness/lightness of the overall picture. I use the indiviual channels (R, G, B) to control the presence of effect of the individual colors. I try to stay away from hue and saturation because one tends to lose quite a bit of color data. I try to do all my color corrections in 16 bit mode. If possible I try not to convert to 8 bit, but sometimes it's unavoidable. It's so amazing...just until recently I was strictly a JPEG man, but since I've "discovered" the power of RAW/16 bit TIFF, it's changed my whole outlook on how to take pictures. I've gained some knowledge of color spaces and the difference between 16 bit TIFF and 8 bit TIFF and JPEG. I spend a lot more time on each pictue now, but I think the differnce is well worth. This is a complete 180 degrees from what I was thinking 1 month ago. I know I didn't quite answer your question, but I hope it's helped in someway.

Hi teski,
I can't wait to see you picts. It's a gret day here too in Seattle. but a bit windy. I didn't go out today becaue the leaves wouldn't come out very crisp on such a day. Take care, bud.

Mahesh,
Aren't you effectively adjusting hue and saturation when you adjust the curves? I too have recently switched from JPG to RAW which is why I asked. I find that with TIFFs I will work in AdobeRGB but if I am going to post anything on the web or give to someone I will convert the TIFFAdobeRGB to JPGsRGB.

Hi James,
I suppose you're right and one does change the sat and hue a little when changing the curves, but I find that working with the individual color curves lets me make subtle changes to just that color that I don't seem to be able to do with the hue saturation function. A good example is if I notice a color cast to my picture. Sometimes I get a reddish or a greenigh tinge and working with the respective color curve lets me correct it quite nicely, I think. It's especially noticable when you're scaled up to 100 percent.
