Colour luminosity

Create a Black & White

Adjustment Layer and increase

Yellows to 115 and reduce Greens

to -135. The image will be too dark after

these changes, so close down the dialog

box and create a Curves Adjustment

Layer. Click in the centre of the curve,

and drag up and to the left to lighten.

If you accidentally place a point you

don’t need, simply click on it and drag

away from the curve to delete it. Once

you’ve finished, close the dialog box.
