These photos are from a fitness hike on the Sonoran and Western Loop Trails. I decided to edit them again using the PPW and am posting them here with links to the originals for comparison. (Clicking on a link or photo should display a lightbox.)
New edit on 2015-04-23.
For the next photo, I did two edits and then a blend as Dan Margulis recommends.
#2:
Edit #2.
#3:
Edit #3.
#4, This is a blend using 25% of the luminosity of #2 and 45% of the color from #2 with the rest of the luminosity and color coming from #3.
Edit #4; Blend w/ 25% luminosity from #2, 45% color, with remainder of color and luminosity coming from #3.

I like the first and the last. I have the LAB book by Dan Margulis, but I don’t understand what you mean by PPW.

Hi Mark,
The PPW is the Picture Postcard Workflow. It’s described in Dan Margulis’s book, “Modern Photoshop Color Workflow”. There is a free (no cost) panel which make it easy to apply the PPW actions to an image. Even so, it takes a fair amount of practice to get good results.
