[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 276502, member: 9240"] I'm also not big into recipes. I have a couple of theirs that I will use as starting points in Silver Efex, usually Fine Art or one of the High Structure ones when I just don't go from scratch. From there, my first step is to go to the colored filter section, boost the power to 100% and slide the color slider through the range to see if there's something in there that brings out aspects of the photo any better than a straight desaturation. If so, I tweak the amount and then adjust. I'll save a recipe if I have a series of photos that I want the same treatment on, but I rarely, if ever, go back to it when I'm done. Like you and Don, I still rely on some native Photoshop and Lightroom tools, like burn and dodge in PS and the Hue. Saturation and Luminance sliders in LR (I need to get more into Channels in PS, but that takes time I haven't found yet). [/QUOTE]
