Spice up boring colours?

Hi, I have a nice picture - but the colours themselfs are just plain "dull"
is there a way to spice up the photo and bring more life into it?
(Its a display image with white background)
Thanks!

It was mentioned in the Lab mode book. I have not seen it documented any
place. But, it does work.

No, you have the same options with fade as with a duplicate layer, namely
opacity and blending mode. Though I suppose if you had a real problem spot
you could use layer masks or the eraser to take out areas you didn't want.
So, I guess a second layer would be a bit more flexible.
Either way I guess.

Did not see the photoshop ground - but no problem we have photoshop as well
and the tips worked nicely.

This is a group for users of Adobe Photoshop primarily! have you tried a
paintshop newsgroup?

Convert your
Lab mode is a color space. Convert your image by clicking the Image
menu, then Mode, and then LAB Color.
"Curves" is an editing tool, choose Image, then Adjust, and then Curves.

It is a Photoshop feature (I don't know if paintshop pro 8 has it or
not)
In Photoshop you can find it in:
Images >> Mode >> and choose Lab Color

I do not seem to have "Lab mode" where do you activate this feature?
(using Jasc paintshop pro 8)

Hi Heebee
I use a Lab curves system almost identical to yours except I have an action
which creates a duplicate layer to which the adjustment is made, I then fade
the opacity of the layer until it looks right! and if it does I then flatten
and sharpen.
Never tried using the fade command! are there advantages to doing it that
way?
With the duplicate layer, you always have your original intact if things go
wrong.
