I like the license... I (heart) curves. It was tougher. I do not think I nailed this one.

No...Swing and a miss...
The rest of the image has to be reasonable....
Here is a green version....

It is better yes...
The Green is getting into the yellow too much...see what you can do to isolate that...
I don't want to give too much away yet....

Yet another feeble attempt.
I thought 0 a and positive b is yellow. But the L channel changes that apparent color.

See if you can spot the hint..... ;D
This is a great way to paint it any color really...

sorry to hear that...lol
If you try this in HSB you can go to any hue you want. Make the Hue curve a horizontal line by moving the ends to the mid line of the curve window. Select one end of the curve then Ctrl-click the other end. It is the same as making a contrast pin really. Then you can move the line up and down and find any hue you want.

Greg. I "cheated" I used HSB for that image.
I am not a curvemeister or
cm jr or
even curvemeister jr apprentice.
I found the exercise easy in HSB, and difficult in LAB. Here is my LAB technique. I pinned all three curves. I alt clicked a couple of red places to change. Then I forced the A curve to zero for those spots, B curve to positive, and made the L higher. The problem that I ran into was 0,0. Neutral is 0,0 and that had to stay. there were several red points at -1 b or 0b or 1b. If I moved them to positive b then my neutral went also.
It is interesting and I await the solution.

It's not cheating...it's solving the problem..
The point of using LAB is to make this more difficult than it has to be..it forces you to play in LAB..In that you succeeded.
Today in the conference call; we are going to cover some interesting LAB techniques because of the images Julie has posted...Stay tuned...
I'll try to post a summary after the call so that Art can see what we did as well..
