Thanks very much everyone for the comments. I appreciate it.

Steve, not sure if you will visit this thread again but if you do can you explain the steps you take to create a mid tone adjustment layer through channels. If I dont hear from you here I may PM you. Thanks for your help and input.

Hi David, it's beeen a long time since I used the method within PS, but from my vague memory it's a sequence of events created by 'calculating & subtracting' (using subtraction within PS) Alpha channels where you end up with multiple layers ie four per channel, however this is a very long winded and I now have an action written by a friend of mine which allows me to pick & choose various options ie lights, super lights, , dark, mid tones etc etc, plus I can expand those too.

It's not helpful at all David and goes against what I endeavour to do on here, but it's something that with some searching within PS can be found, it's simple but complicated (if you know what I mean) and to try and write it would take some time as it would need to be accompanied with screen grabs to show how the channels are built up, you also need to name tag each layer otherwise you can easily get into a pickle.

If you want to drop me a line I can fwd the image if only for a guide.

Apologies in being/sounding rather negative on this one.

Still think it' a lovely image.

Steve
