Oh no! Never use desaturate! I've always used the channel mixer and you do get really good results. The hue/sat with channel mixer combo is a new thing and there's also a step by step written out in the May 2003 issue of PCPhoto magazine..... which I know zhounder has also mentioned recently. I'm actually playing with this method on an image I took yesterday....and my verdict is "I'm still not sure if I think it's better than just straight channel mixer methods"...... but I haven't had time to compare the two either... The other thing is this link posted more than once now that I found a while back. This link brings you to Channel-Mixer presets for Photoshop that are being given away for free to use. I've found them to be quite useful, although you may need to fiddle with the settings a bit to get exactly what you want.

I am, therefore I create.......
