Re: [FYI] I'm working on another PS plugin...
said by pog  :For anyone that does not know why "Lab" is kewl I didn't until you came out with your first LAB plugin, and now it's a staple in my arsenal; sometimes I'm surprised at the difference it makes! Looking forward to this one, though I admit that at my level, I often use the first one at just the default settings. Haven't yet mastered the thinking behind adjusting each, though the explanation you provided in your post here should go a long way towards getting me started.

I've done a bit more on this one... it's a great learning experience for me, I must say!!!

Anyway, the controls are basically the same as before. I don't have a decent histogram working yet but there are some image stats... the stats are based on the portion of the image displayed in the preview only. Still, this is the main reason I started writing this plugin... I was having a very hard time keeping things within the RBG working space. The stats should be helpful.
PENTAX *ist DS
77mm 1/320th F5 ISO200
original image
PENTAX *ist DS

PENTAX *ist DS

"non-destructive" coloring
It's not actually non-destructive... but it's close enough for me. 
PENTAX *ist DS

semi-random monotone
The other reason for writing this plugin was for me to see first hand how one thing affects another... this is why there are so many sliders... and why they have so much range. I don't know that any of this is better than what could be accomplished natively with Photoshop/et al... but I think it would be pretty hard to duplicate some of the effects of this plugin...
Anyway, if anyone's interested, here's the updated plugin along with 2 presets that were used in this post (save/load of presets is working now )
 pog_lab_blender.zip 127539 bytes
zipped .8bf and 2 presets
As before, unzip to your plugins folder... this is still alpha software, so it's not all prettied up or fully tested yet.
