[Novel image lightening with negation blend mode and curves]

Thanks for sharing man!!

Edit: I see if you move the left most node up,it compresses the dark areas of image,

which is useful if you have excessive black areas in your image

[Growth on rocks]

So, this is an image of plant I captured while back...

I loved two things about it: First it grew between the cracks of the boulder and second the way the leaves changed the colour.

I was not satifisfied with the colors and so tried to retouch it in AP to bring it to life!!

I hope you like it

[Working in LAB colorspace]

All the filters and adjustments are preserved in RGB 16bit.

[Working in LAB colorspace]

So, I recently started working in LAB space.

My question is, if I am working in an individual channel say Lightness(only channel editable),

how do I ensure that all filters and adjustments are applied before jumping to RGB?

Because, on changing to RGB it highlights R channel only , so I am not sure how to preserve my LAB work..

As mentioned by the @Mithferion, I think it is the quickest way you can quickly change colors.

You can also use recolor adjustment if you want to add a unique color tone.

[Retrieving back natural colours (AP)]

The picture that I captured had a lot of haze and dullness in it.

So, I tried to retrieve some of those natural colours back inside AP

Sharing the original image and the retouched version.
