LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION
An introduction and overview of the course

LESSON 2: REAL, UNPRINTABLE, AND IMAGINARY COLORS
What happens when LAB has colors that are outside not just the CMYK, but the RGB gamut.

LESSON 3: LAB AND THE PERFECT SUNSET
How imaginary colors give LAB the advantage over working in RGB or CMYK

LESSON 4: RETOUCHING BLOWN-OUT AREAS
Retouching blown-out areas using imaginary colors in LAB

LESSON 5: PAINTING IN COLOR
3The LAB advantage of painting in Color mode to repair blownout face areas

LESSON 6: USING BLEND IF
Isolate blown-out areas for correction by painting

LESSON 7: LOW-RADIUS SHARPENING
How conventional (low-radius) sharpening in LAB differs from using the same settings in RGB

LESSON 8: BLURRING SKIES AND BLEND IF
Sharpening in LAB

LESSON 9: COMPARE LAB TO RGB SHARPENING
See the difference between the two methods

LESSON 10: SHARPENING THE AB CHANNELS
French Impressionism and sharpening the AB channels

LESSON 11: WHEN TO AVOID SHARPENING THE AB CHANNELS
Some situations will call for a different sharpening method

LESSON 12: HIRALOAM SHARPENING
Hiraloam sharpening in both Luminosity and Color modes in an overall workflow context

LESSON 13: MULTIPLY MODE
The importance of multiply mode to enhance the quartertone

LESSON 14: CHOOSING THE PROPER LAYER MASK
Choosing the proper layer mask for an LAB multiplication

LESSON 15: ANOTHER EXAMPLE
Here is another example of how to choose the proper layer mask

LESSON 16: LAB IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE
Noise reduction in LAB isn't rocket science

LESSON 17: THE M.P.P.S.
Reduction of color-only moires in LAB

LESSON 18: BLENDING WITH THE AB CHANNELS
Blending with the AB channels to remove complicated moires

LESSON 19: COMPARING METHODS
Blending the A or B into the L versus using the A or B as a mask

LESSON 20: OVERLAYING THE A AND/OR B ONTO ITSELF
These two blends can accomplish a great deal if you understand how to use them

LESSON 21: THE MAN FROM MARS METHOD
The Man from Mars Method in combination with a final Darken/Lighten blend from the A and/or B

LESSON 22: THE MAN FROM MARS METHOD FOR FLESHTONES
The Man from Mars Method for fleshtones, with final AB blend to limit damage

LESSON 23: A COMPREHENSIVE RGB TO LAB WORKFLOW
A comprehensive RGB to LAB workflow to break colors apart in a heavily-casted maritime scene

LESSON 24: RGB CHANNEL BLENDING
RGB channel blending as a prelude to the Man from Mars Method

LESSON 25: MORE PRACTICE WITH THE RGB/LAB WORKFLOW
The RGB/LAB workflow and an outdoor family shot

LESSON 26: THE WORKFLOW WITH WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY
RGB/LAB workflow and wildlife photography

LESSON 27: CONCLUSION
