HOW TO MATCH COLOR USING PHOTOSHOP CS

Last week, while perusing the blogosphere, I came upon James Delaney's website that showed how to use this fun Photoshop feature I wanted to share. This feature is only available in the CS versions of Photoshop and was created to match a series of photographs with each other.
But look at what else you can do.





















I started with this ho-hum photograph of the Mad River, which flows parallel to the Pacific not far from where I live
























I found this painting online, Sailing Under the Rain, by Yoiche Tanabe. I liked it for its mood and colors.

Here are the steps:

• Make sure both images are the same dimension
• Make sure the image of River is active by clicking on it
• Go to Image>Adjustments>Match Color
• Under Image Statistics, choose Sailing Under the Rain as the source image

• Fiddle with Luminance and Color Intensity sliders
