"Hey, I'z no dummy. One of dem pictures is not a Picasso" you might be saying. True my friend, you are correct. What these pictures do have in common is that they all have a under lying color of blue. Most pictures coming in through a digital camera will have a blue tinge. It is hard to notice, but when taken out, the difference becomes much more apparent So when working on images, especially that go to print you must take out the blue.
How its done:
Its quite simple. In Photoshop while working in RGB, go to the Curve channel. In the Curves menu, select the blue Channel. After that, lower the blue, and you will 9 out of 10 times see a world of difference on the screen. With such a method you will see a great difference in the printed picture. If this is not done then the pictures usually print as if the subject has a blue overlay.
Leave the Blue Peroid to Picasso and keep your pictures more alive and realistic. I will thank you and so will will Pablo for not trying to rip him off. Adios!
P.S. I forgot to take the blue out of the picture on the cover, it could have that much better. :-(
