I decided I really needed to work on all the images, even if I'm WAY behind. I learned a lot on this image, even though I wasn't successful. Greg mentioned that it wasn't easy in RGB, so I wanted to see why. I saw why. I think I'd take this image to Lightroom and work on it as a B&W, and see what happened, but don't have time to spend on that at this point. One can see that there is a color cast, and as I look at the screenshot again, I probably could have worked on the green a bit more. I got one place without a cast at 91, 91, 91, but every time I played with the green, the red would go kaplooey. So my question: if one has more than one color cast depending on the portion selected for hue clocks, how do you choose which color to fix--in other words, is red harder to fix, blue? or green? Is that a dumb question? I know your answer is: Take it to LAB, but I'd like a general answer to what to pick on if you are bouncing back and forth between casts and you can't equalize them? I know--take it to LAB. So then the question becomes: how do you know which images to work on in LAB and which to work on in RGB?
Addendum: I realized that I hadn't set a neutral point while working on this in RGB, so I went back and did so. I couldn't find any neutral that didn't result in similar color casts.
Thanks for putting up with me!
