I receive many emails about how to get good color, so I am reposting this post.
In one of my posts last week I talked about color - creating an image with the colors you like, as opposed to accurate colors.
I took the image above in Death Valley, where I am doing a
workshop next year. I hope you can jon the fun.
The colors you see, created in
Nik Color Efex Pro, are not the natural colors, they are the painterly colors I wanted in my image. The original image is below.

Of course, getting accurate color is important, too. That's what I was striving for when I was working on my iPad app,
Flying Flowers.
