Greg,  I am not de-saturating or using any of the simpler methods. I have used Kellby's systems, tried many of the tutorials on line, and have not found any joy in my results.  Last night I downloaded the channel split method from Adobe and will try it later today. <br /><br />I was hoping for ...

Howdy Gregg and Mike,  Been a while since I have been here. Hello forum.<br /><br />I am having difficulties with my black and white conversions. I am not happy with my results.

Hello Greg,<br /><br />I realize that I am attempting to use CM's abilities to help replace other software that already does some of the things I need. I own other software and use it but where CM shines is its plug-in and co-ordination with PhotoShop. It saves having multiple image editing sof...

Hello Greg,<br /><br />I have been using saved curve files when there is the opportunity for using the same curve levels. It works great with images taken in my studio and sometimes helps with same area shots like church interiors at weddings or corporate event work.<br /><br />What I have not done ...

Thank you Derek and Greg for your help in understanding the workings of the CM software. If it is a bug maybe it will be addressed but at least I now know that it is an issue that needs to be worked around and not tackled head on.<br /><br />Since I would rather use a keyboard than a mouse when work...

Greetings Greg,<br /><br />With your help I find I am changing my work pattern and most of it is for the better. Except for missing the wizard lightness RGB and LAB sliders I have almost broken my wizard habit. Thanks. <br /><br />There is still a persistent issue that continues to be troublesome wi...

Howdy Greg,<br /><br />Thanks for your prompt replies and suggestions. I have taken the CM101 class twice, the last time just this past summer. There was a wealth of information given and it seems that some of it has not stuck with me or at least is difficult for me to incorporate into my daily work...
