Greetings,
After spending too much time on
this and getting significant others about to pack up and leave... I have come to
a conclusion about LRGB... less is more. After trying every conceivable
technique, the one that worked the best for me was as follows:
Make layers of both components,
drag the L on top of the RGB.
Start out with the L at 50%...
turn the layer on and off and see what effect the L is having on the image.
Change the % until you get just
the right balance.
Here's the obvious part... since
your image now has been split into two components, the B&W information and
the color, either one can be adjusted and futzed with until everything is "just
so"... you don't need anything else. Once I grasped this simple fact, everything
fell into place.
If you're not totally sick
of M51 by now, here's the result:
Now I need to get some
real work done...
Tony
