Please expand & we'll see if anyone can help. Are you after more contrast, hi key , sharpness, punchiness to the shot etc ?

BTW that last shot is more like it. You still worry me though , how you come up with these images

im using desaturated rgb and selective colors
levels then sharpen
then convert

how else
any info appreciated
i wasnt satisfied with the tonal range in some of these

thanks for responses

There's a good article on this site here :- http://www.pixalo.com/articles/Conve...-Photoshop.php

I would recommend method 5, using Channel Mixers. For skin tones try 40% Red, 30% Green & 30% Blue for most natural tones.
