Thanks greatly Rikard for these nonpareil tips, tricks, tuts and techniques on colour matching in Photoshop. Surely, this will always come handy in photo compositing for a photo manipulator. I can't thank you enough as I have learned enormously from you over the years. Thanks and God bless, my honcho.
Just duplicate the Match color final layer and reduce opacity of the top layer and it gets as good as identical result as the curves...far quicker...do an A-B with Match color and the curves version and theres no noticable difference...
