Really interesting, well until you try the technique on pics that contain skin.
You get a colour boost and your have to do another skinfix.
Then I remembered the good ol lab mode, and voila, doing this only on the lightness channel helped.
Example:
Original
Clarified
Now the steps:
duplicate your Image
convert to LAB mode
select the lightness channel
select/clolor range/midtones
edit/copy
select lab channel
edit/paste
filter/other/high pass (25-50)
set layer to soft light
convert to rgb with flatten
select all
edit copy
close
edit paste
you are almost done
tweak the layer to your liking
have fun!
