More fun with LAB conversions.

Some work and others kinda work.
It is fun though trying different subject 
matter to see just what does work.

Trying to relearn past knowledge

Years ago I knew how to do a lot more 
in photoshop than I remember now.
Recent events have caused me to reload 
my OS to ElCapitan since Sierra
did not work with many of my programs.
In so doing I lost several actions, one of 
which I had gotten from Photoshop CS3 
and Scott Kelby's book 7-Point System
that I used for sharpening images as I would convert
from DNG to JPG files.
I had loaned my book to someone who
gave it away so I went online and found 
an old copy so that I could recreate 
the action. In doing so however I decided 
to go through the lessons again as 
much as possible since the newest Photoshop
is far advanced over the CS3 version.
Below are three images that I have played 
with to try and use LAB in my processing again.

I still need more practice to get what I really want 
but at least it has sparked the desire again.
