when sh$t is fuck@d up
It's hard to tell how color works unless you see it happening.
Sometimes, we fuFck things up.
Sometimes, that color on that corner is off.
Sometimes, the whole range of spectrum is just off.
Sometimes, life gets complicated and twisted.
It takes a lot to fix it.
It dwindles and cross turns.
Like that green getting in your way.
So this is how it look when shit is just fusked up.
There's always order somehow, and when you don't know what's 'right' or 'wrong', follow whatever that looks better/beauty ;).
And if you don't know what's beautiful... step out and look at nature.

posting curves.
This is photoshop 401.
What? You thought you graduated?
Please use this technique to recreate color that is specific.
I use my curve tool to its maximum limit.
Basically, if you have a car, you full speed max to the pedal. Non stop.
The first concept to understand when using curve tool is to use all adjustments.
There are 3 adjustments in curve tool.
Step 1 is to get out of normal.
Darken, Multiply, Color Burn... all those clustered are to darken pixels.
From Lighten to Lighter Color are lightening effects.
Overlay all the way to Hard Mix deals with contrast.
Rest is yours to explore.
Step 2 is the curve itself.
There are RGB, Red, Green and Blue channel.
The R,G and B-channel controls will balance the effect of the curve even further, resulting in much controlled color in your photography.
Consider this minute control as a support to your daily curve tooling.
Step 3 is masking. You decide where it should go. ;))

don't be Normal!
know what you're choosing

changes are very delicate, because layer is no longer 'Normal'.
adjustment requires accuracy.
with combined 4 layers,
changes no longer seem to be small.
The key is to use all 3 colors to adjust.
While RGB channel seems perfect that controls all, it is easy for colors to add noise and/or reveal undesired color.
notice the green between red and blue.
it is bridging the two, and thus therefore adjustment was needed.
