  1. Awesome, just what I was looking for. Works a treat. I've made an action for this now so I can apply it with just the click of a button :)

  2. Is there a tutorial on remove the rude and annoying comments?
    That "Draw an Owl" photo was hilarious

    1. It should be included in the dropdown menu without loading the .3dl files. You need Photoshop CS6 to use the color lookup adjustment.

  3. This tutorial is EXCELLENT due to the great step-by-step detail. It is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  4. 1) Your way does not do anything
    2) To get anything decent you have to mess with each color setting and that is way more work than adding a few lookup layers
    3) It's not the same so dont be such a smartass
