Is it best a topic per photo?

I used LAB and thresholds.  the image-  too much "a",  I pinned a sky pin.  The water and sky seems okay, but the hills seem blue.  If I fix the hills... 

Anyway I increased contrast in the mountains. 

(Still messing with the wreath.  )

I might have lost some detail in the upper right deep shadows.

GregG- thanks.  I guess I should read the manual.  Saving the curves by name is easier, but the history files work fine,  The advantage of smart filters is saving the pins.  <br /><br />I reduced the saturation and the tried to increase the contrast that GregM suggested.  I could read the label.<br ...

First attempt at cmyk.  Don't know if I succeeded, but I tried to boost a little yellow.  I tried to add contrast but lost shadow detail.  (I will fix my pumpkin next).  Is it helpful to attach full jpg (not a screenshot)?

Is this what you want?<br /><br />HSB is very different.  I have never used it before.  <br /><br />My previous posts about going back.  Is it best with saving the curves?  Numbering them?  Then I could replicate later.  In this image it is irrelevant, but later...<br /><br />I did a version 2.  I m...

Another try.  <br /><br />I soften the lab curve.<br /><br /><br />A photoshop question.<br /><br />If I apply the CM as filter, once applied I cannot go back.  If I do a convert to smart filter, I can go back-  but if I apply the second filter as a smart filter it reads the the first parameters.  D...

Here is another attempt.

I brightened the shadows but the midtones are lighter also.

I did not try to convert this with rgb.

The interior points on the L curve were a "shot in the dark"

Here is my attempt.  First, rgb curves as suggested.  I use the side threshold.  It seems that you can move the threshold at least to the first spot on the histogram.  Oh yes, I tried to keep detail in the shadows and maintain neutrals.<br /><br />Then close CM and back with a LAB color boost.  I mo...

I had a problem with pins here is what der Curvemeister replied...<br /><br />___________<br /><br /><br />Here's a workaround that should get you on the air with pins.<br /><br />1) start up the pin palette by clicking on the large pin icon in the ribbon at the top of the Curvemeister window (...
