Hi guys and girls,

    2. Which method do you use to apply your color palette?

      For that value range, it seems like it may be difficult to find a layer mode that 1) doesn't blow your range and 2) applies color with a fair amount of saturation. For this kind of value range, I've been using a color layer and then sampling the value of the area I want to color and then simply adjusting my hue/saturation sliders in HSB panel. Cumbersome, to say the least!

      Joshua:
      I usually paint on top or under the sketch with a soft brush and some custom brushes set on Overlay. I always get my sky to work first and the rest of the image should take care of it self. And in the end if your image turns out too monochromatic, just go to the adjustment filter and find 'Vibrance'.
