You are a fantastic human being.

I've been looking for a good way to desaturate my pictures, and I think this does the trick nicely. Thanks for sharing.

How do you "invert the layer" (second step)?

[Hess]

to invert the layer the quick way is just cntrl+i

or image>adjustments>invert

I <3 Hess.

You drastically improved my desaturations.

The left has my old method, and to the right is your method. So much better.
