2: 20 Solarize Layer, see unwanted spots, removing inconsistencies
10: 10 Luminance Check Layer, reducing the images' brightness values(dodging and burning techniques)
14: 04 Saturation Check Layer Method 1: showing which areas are highly saturated
16: 06 Saturation Check Layer Method 2: Selective Color Adjustment Layer

This is awesome! The Solarize and Luminance Checks were awesome. The saturation ones didn't work for me at all. I see the pictures almost fully red, but the color picker tool shows that the colors in those areas are between 10 and 30% of saturation.

Hi, Unmesh. I am a big fan of your creative and amazing work. Searching on your videos I have not seen any about 'X-ray see-through cloth. Can you make a video on the subject? Though this is a fun way but something different I think. Please.

Wait a sec, if I create all these layers (15: 10) and the image become totally red, it means that the whole image is with the same saturation value? I'm asking this because I created these layers and it happened to me.

A more faithful Black and White representation for the Luminance Check Layer is using the Black and White effect with the settings:
Red: 27
Yellow: 148
Green: -39
Cyan: 194
Blue: 11
Magenta: 138

These check layers are so great! I love compositing, but being red-green colour blind makes it challenging to match elements up sometimes. This made things so easy with such a brilliant outcome! Thank you Unmesh!

This is an excellent way to restore old scanned photos, whether in true color, stained aged sepia, stained aged color, unevenly hand-tinted color, or discovering why a photo just looks inexplicably off to you.

Thank you for this. I normally use images online but I'm going to print a family photo album. I've already found these techniques save me from errors I couldn't see without them.

Is there a difference between using a Black & White layer adjustment layer as opposed to a neutral solid color with a blending mode of color for checking luminosity?

Th full red saturation check has a flaw. Adding a Red layer with the 'Color' blend mode will destroy the original saturation values.
