Use the Plowden adjustment technique but double click the white dropper and reset the white point to the cream colour you want. ;-)

I couldn't get that to work but by selecting the layer and opening Hue-Saturation I was able to adjust the tones to my hears content. Not sure it's right but it's definitely better than it was.

The sky seems to have a mind of it's own...

I also adjusted the hue, saturation and brightness of the path, for better or worse I don't know!

Thank you Eric for getting me on the right path.



EDIT: This morning I revisited this image, I wasn't happy with it, I was getting tired yesterday.

This is my re-work this morning. IMO much better, although I just noticed I seem to have de-focused the tree tops... Doh!

OK, so maybe got that one sorted...

On the basis of having a prominent item in the scene, I have selected four more pictures which I think might be worthwhile. Aside from the processing, which I will re-work, what do you think of the potential of these.

#407


#428


#441


#487

Some nice shots there Robert...last two my favourites.

With regard to the original image we were discussing....I still feel there is a lack of contrast in the mid tones. And my feeling the colour is too green yellow. I know it's persoanla tast.

I've tweaked it ...

With regard to today's shots...again I think they are too pink? I prefer a sepia look if not true white...

Agree with Eric. Need to reduce the pink in the image.
For me I prefer BnW with blue skies.
The red path is interesting though!

Yes, I realised the pink was silly, I find adjusting tones hard in Ps, I always have, that was why I used Bibble for IR.

Thanks for the adjustments Eric, I will try to emulate that feel in the remaining images.

I think the last one 'works' best for me but I also think the bridge is a tremendous opportunity, it's just getting it right, angle and perspective. I have a similar shot of the bride taken with the 16mm fisheye and although it gives a much wider view, I don't feel it's as good as the 18mm zoom.

The bridge would be better at slight angle rather than straight on.

But a good set of images with lots of potential.
