Hummie this is just fantastic. I know about the color wheel, complementary colors, etc., but definitely did not know about this color scheme building in PSE. I am definitely going to try this out after I look for your prior tutorial. I hope it works as well in PSE-5 since you are using 6. This is so much easier to do as you build your colors to complement your photos. I have had problems using kits with a large amount of purple is choosing the perfect color photo. I normally end up using a B&W photo, which is extremely constrictive because often I want to showcase my colored photos. Thank you so much, you are a darling! Leavin LUV! XOXOXO
