>> Dear Jack - I must bow to your superior knowledge on that one...must try it when I >> have a spare moment.....just use lab out of habit I suppose! Richard. Jack, Richard - Yes, I agree for the most part...but! The luminosity blend is a weighted average simulation and does not work exactly the same as in LAB mode - for some edits and images the differences will be major and one may prefer one move over the other. For other images and edits, one may be quite happy with the simulation of LAB in RGB (CMYK is not quite right, but it works, sort of, well it works better than normal mode <g>). I am a big fan of using luminosity, color, hue and or saturation blend modes to simulate LAB or HSB type moves while in RGB or CMYK.
