Episode 6 moves the discussion from the abstract ideas of color theory to more practical ideas, like how changes to saturation and lightness are not isolated in RGB (nor, in L*a*b, as we'll learn in episode 7 and even the Photoshop layer blends for hue, saturation, color, and lightness are not as effective as one might expect (more about this in episode 7).

Another excellent presentation. Thanks to your presentations, I'm getting a much better idea of color.
Thanks again.

I just finished the Powerpoint for the next episode. I plan on making the video tomorrow morning. This one will demonstrate the effects of going back-and-forth to L*a*b for editing. The episode after will explore how going to L*a*b is advantageous (and quirky, sometimes) when it comes to Saturation adjustments.
