Thanks, What you and Dr. Brown say makes sense. From a photo standpoint I will continue to keep LAB in my workflow, while trying not to overdue it.
There is an interesting discussion on using LAB to control color saturation at:
<http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t308>
though it may have been posted before.
Anyway, sticking my neck out (for what little it may be worth), I pulled the squirrel photo out from the above "..dgrin.com/.. " thread and had a go with it in Lab space.
I've posted the before and my after in my photobucket if anyone may care. < http://s1351.photobucket.com/user/Editorial_Minstrel/library/Lab%20tests > < http://tinyurl.com/kyrt87u >
I'm guessing similar results could be had in RGB space.
