Examples of Photoshop color optimization, both selective and global corrections, as well as black & white lith effect in Photoshop.
1. Julia Fullerton-Batten's image has had a full color change, and the relationship between the skin tones is balanced through selective corrections.
2. The model (Shutterstock) has been given a light tan in Photoshop.
3. The image of an artist has simply had a cast lifted away in Photoshop. See how to do this in the Essential Color Optimization E-book on the tutorials page.
4. The portrait of Fela in a tree was backlit and therefore quite dark and dull, but through selective Photoshop corrections it's now glowing from within.
5. Press shot for singer Sara has been given a cool and high-key digital lith treatment, as described in forthcoming Special Color Techniques in Photoshop. See tutorials page.
6. Little bother Magnus has also been given a digital lith treatment, but more contrasty and warm.
