I use gray scale on all my work and pull the colors out of it.

Care to elaborate on this? I have really wanted to explore this method. By the way killer job!!!!!!!

A grayscale image contains ALL the information. If I wanted to grab the car Minus say the taillights and trim... throw it on a spot channel and make it blue.... then I could use levels or even better control " Curves" to pull the shadow area out allowing black or darks to com through, same with highlights, allowing white to come through and maybe pollute the mid range? to simple of an explanation?

In a way its a little confusing. Although I dont claim to be the brightest bulb with this stuff....lol I would love to learn more about it.

that's a lot of bang for the buck (only two colors)! Looks very nice!
