Gosh, thi is inviting...what does it mean to saturate with blacks? I like the look! #1379702Mary Dimitriw May 24, 2011
Sheesh Michelle, it's too early here, I responded to you with an explanation and then forgot to hit the upload.I re-edited above so it should make more sense. In CS5 if you shoot in RAW you can adjust the 'black' slider to increase the saturation. It's normally around 5 or below at default but I crank it up over 30. Hope that helps...have a great day.

I love this version too. The greens with the darker colours of the coconut and mat set the white up beautifully from the coconut. #9427226Ellen Hodges May 25, 2011
