I made my initial corrections to this, and example 2, yesterday - but I wanted to see how I would feel about them today. I've created a comparison image showing yesterday's version next to today's version (and both curve files are attached).

This is probably the first image where I've really let loose with the saturation. Unfortunately the JPEG that I'm uploading is wildly out of the sRGB gamut, so what you'll be able to see on the forum is not particularly close to my final file. To see how the final file actually looks, load up - and apply - my v2 curves, and then cut the opacity to 65% (I liked it at 100%, but the devil on my shoulder made me cut it back a bit ;)).

This is such a great image to use for this exercise; it positively taunts you to push the saturation to 11!

Cheers,
Lee.

Lee,
24 hours saves the day......

The two traps in this image are the Reds and the Greens...Go to far and you lose the details in those areas.  In the first image you have lost the greens...in the 24 hour revision..you saved them....

Great job!
Greg
