Think 
about this: The Old Masters of painting spent years of their lives learning about 
color. Why let all their effort go to waste on the walls of some museum when it 
could be used to give you a hand with color correction?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.unfocusedbrain.com/projects/match_color/index.php">When Photoshop entered the CS series it included a new tool called 'Match Color.' 
This tools was made so that you could match a series of photos to one another.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.unfocusedbrain.com/projects/match_color/index.php">But there is another thing you can do with 'Match Color' that is much cooler: You 
can match the colors in your photos to those in famous paintings.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.unfocusedbrain.com/projects/match_color/index.php">I keep a directory of about 30 of my favorite paintings and anytime I need to do 
color correction, I just scan through them to find the one that gives the photo 
I'm working on the best look.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.unfocusedbrain.com/projects/match_color/index.php">Here is how to do it:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.unfocusedbrain.com/projects/match_color/index.php">
