I just tried doing the first assignment with the duck picture. The result using the RGB setting was much nicer for me than using the LAB setting. I tried the LAB settiong a few times and got a very green cast on the entire picture. No obvious cast on the RGB picture. Did I do something wrong?

First Assignment
Most likely cause for the green cast is the neutral you choose.
LAB can have only 1 neutral so placing it is very important. Look for something that "should be neutral" not something that measures as neutral.
You can drag the selected point around a bit on the image to see if you can find a better spot for the neutral. Watch the "Honest Abe" video and see if that helps clarify it...lastly post an image or two and we can take a look. Save it for web with the curves applied and upload it to this thread...

I was wondering if there is a way with Curvemeister to choose a specific place to set the grey point by looking at the RGB values and choosing a spot where all three values are as close to similar as can be found. In trying the first lesson demo file, I am finding that selecting the grey point just by eye is the toughest part. The choice makes a huge difference with regard to color cast.
Thanks
