Andre's "Serious Mimi" image

[-default]

Here's a version of Andre's Serious Mimi image.

The image does well in RGB with a shadow in the darker part of the hair, and a neutral placed in the lighter part of the hair. 

After these changes, the hue clock showed a good "lunch hour" skin tone everywhere except the brightest part of the right cheek, which was still too yellow.  To fix this, I moved the bright end of the green channel vertically until the hue clock pointed a good skin tone.

Finally, I used the "floating neutral" feature to modify the overall brightness.

You may paste this text into Curvemeister to get the curve:

RGB 01-09-06_1349 copy 2:
;Red:  (39,0) (97,86) (255,255)
;Green:  (50,0) (138,86) (255,234)
;Blue:  (46,0) (145,86) (255,255)

Red: (0.153,0.000), (0.380,0.337), (1.000,1.000)
Green: (0.196,0.000), (0.541,0.337), (1.000,0.916)
Blue: (0.180,0.000), (0.569,0.337), (1.000,1.000)

Ì did it also but a simpler way.

I loaded the picture first in P.S.E. 4.0
then a shadow.highlight on 25 %.
then I did the usual way with blackpoint highlight in Curvemeister.
Then I placed a neutral on the eyeball and a pin 1 skin  on the skin.
After that a little bit bumping the colors.

Nice one, Frits! 

I think your hair color is more accurate, judging from the other photograph.

That is the reason why I did the picture again.

Whatever your reason may be, this is an excellent result!

Frits, I like the way you did this image. What did you mean by " then a shadow.highlight on 25%".
Thanks Joe S

How do you paste this info in Curvemeister to get the curves?

Joes,

In Photoshop Elements 4.0 there is a way to do that.
That is a sort of mask you can manipulate.
see the picture.

Hi Andre,

Copy the text to the clipboard, and then paste it into curvemeister.

If that does not work, you can manually enter the curve values.
