Create a new Adjustment Layer Selective Color (whites: yellow +50, black +28) (Neutrals: cyan +11, Magenta +17) (Yellow: +37, black +7) _______________________________________ I assume (Yellow: +37, black +7) means +37 Yellow in the Yellow pallet? _______________________________________ 5. Create a new layer. Layer mode normal 100% and start painting the photo’s background with a black color (#000000). What we are actually doing is enhancing the background and the photo’s subject contrast. The contrast feature is probably the most important of them all when considering the Dragan HDR Style. 6. Create a new layer. Layer mode multiply 100% and start painting the person’s edges with a bluish color (#232137). I used this color since this is the pictures prominent color. _______________________________________ You say in #4 to create a new adjustment layer... In #5 you say create a new layer. When I do as you say and paint in the "flesh color" yes the flesh color paints as do the other colors/layers but it's ugly and nothing else is happening. Am I missing something, or did you leave something out? To quote the above….

By the way, just to clear things - this tutorial is my interpretation of the technique. I'm sure there are lots of ways to achieve this effect and more. Keep at it! No problem.
