Photo editing/printing is about choices – what do you like/prefer?  More saturated images? more realistic images?

The LAB color space provides some quick and easy methods for altering/boosting color – especially for certain types of images.   Please note that these images are not final images – they are simply examples of what can be done.  The effects made by changes in LAB color may not be appropriate for every image (even those shown in these examples);  you need to target the final output medium when you are working on any image.  Click here to view larger examples of LAB color adjustments (Flash gallery.)
