coloring tutorial for photoshop - enhancing colors
ok, so thsi is a VERY simple tutorial on how to enhance colors, using curves and selective color
we will be going from
to 
first we have our base

next, we add curves, like so:
RGB | RED | GREEN | BLUE
leave it to normal. you'll get somewhat enhanced colors, btu that's nto it yet.
---> 
next, add a new adjustments layer: selective color
and put the setting as following:
REDS:
Cyan -100
Magenta +100
Yellow +100
Black +100
YELLOWS:
Cyan -100
Yellow +100
GREENS:
all to +100
CYANS:
all to +100
BLUES:
all to +100
don't touch the rest.
---> 
now, while this gives certain intensity to teh colors, i wanted to see what would happen if i put the selective color layer under the curves layer. AND IT WORKED!
