Catching the color blue, photoshop tutorial
I realized again how much I love the color blue when VFXY had a blue theme week.
Ever wonder why blue is such a wonderful color?
Blue is the hardest color for camera sensors to capture, and the hardest color for CMYK printers to print.
So how we deal with it in Photoshop is of utmost importance.
We’re sitting here on this beautiful blue jewel hanging in the galaxy, wouldn’t it be great if you captured some of that uniqueness in your images?

Hi!
First, I would like to apologize for my English..
I watched Blue Hues Photoshop LAB color tutorial and I tried to do the same thing with my picture, but the shortcut shift+f3 doesn’t work. I work with a PC. I cannot select the B channel map to control the tonalities and modifie the curves.I found nothing on the web to solve my problem. Is there a similar shortcut for PC?
Could you help me?!!
Is it possible to take courses with you? I love the way you work with light!
I hope you will write me back!
Thank you very much!

The Shift+F3 is a shortcut provided in the ONE Action™ set.
You can make a channel mask with these steps:
1. Make a new curves layer
1.5 - make sure you have the adjustment layer mask selected
2. Use the Apply image command from the menu Image:Apply Image
2.5 Apply the B channel to the adjustment layer mask
and you’re rolling!
