Lab <strong>Color</strong> Layers<br />
The Lab <strong>Color</strong> effects produce a layer set containing two layers marked A and B channel<br />
layers. Again, you can vary the layer opacities <strong>to</strong> obtain different results. It is particularly<br />
worth while experimenting with these, because you can obtain a wide range of<br />
variations within each Lab <strong>Color</strong> effect.<br />
Of all the effects in Pho<strong>to</strong>Kit <strong>Color</strong> <strong>2.0</strong>, the Lab <strong>Color</strong> effects produce the most dramatic<br />
color changes. Some images will look great afterwards, but others may show noticeable<br />
blotches or banding, particularly in areas of gentle, <strong>to</strong>nal transition. This is because<br />
there is always a trade-off between pushing the colors <strong>to</strong> extremes <strong>to</strong> achieve dramatic<br />
color results and amplifying defects, which are caused by 'stretching' the levels in the<br />
original image. For best results, don't use the Lab <strong>Color</strong> effects with low resolution pictures<br />
or images that have been saved as JPEGs with heavy compression. As with all<br />
the other Pho<strong>to</strong>Kit effects, if you don't like the result, just delete the layer set. Applying a<br />
Pho<strong>to</strong>Kit effect will never damage the original image.
