    hey nick,
    nice tip, thanks for it!
    just wondered if you applied the gradient map on those:

    http://greyscalegorilla.com/index.php?showimage=846
    http://greyscalegorilla.com/index.php?showimage=878
    or are they done with different post-production tools?

    Good Eye Vit! I used a Gradient Map on this one. http://greyscalegorilla.com/index.php?showimage=176

    The others however are done with curves. And this one. http://greyscalegorilla.com/index.php?showimage=846 as crazy colors from cross processing film.

    I thought most that the street was done with gradient :-)

    By the way, I started to use your tips with my pictures and it pretty changed my style…I have to say: thanks ;-)

    Hi again…
    Nick I just saw my Flickr account at my friend’s PC and it seems that Google Chrome doesn’t support color profiles, so my pics got really poorer colors there…I haven’t tried to found out more, for example if firefox does support and bla bla bla…
    anyway – do you care about color profiles when publishing a picture on the web? I use Adobe RGB and think you use it too also with the JPGs, right?
    thanks man ;-)

  6. Dood!, I just created a wrinkle… awesome idea :)

    Sweet, I’ve used Colorama in After Effects for ages, and this feels like the same thing in Photoshop. Don’t know why I never ran into it before, which makes this a great tip for me!
