Here is a more naturalistic view of another of these insurrectionist photo montages. I resisted cropping it because I wanted to give some of the surroundings for context.

My girlfriend and fellow photographer, caught at the scene of the crime.

This was done by a friend of mine, giving the whole image a brighter look (and a little more detail on the interior of the bakery as well). Let me know what you think.

So to avoid the noise, I switched the Image>Mode to Lab, then lassooed her face and then went to channels and picked channels a and b, applying gaussian blur to each of them. Then I switched back to RBG in Image>Mode. Then I did ctrl+L to get the levels, which I brightened. Then I went backwards a step but put the "history brush" (now the future brush) into the most recent step, levels. Then I painted her face with it. I also did some stuff with colour burn to bring back some vividness in her face, which was looking a bit faded.

Got it? Hope you like it.

This is the girl who was sitting in front of me on the Polar Express. After the ride she appeared to be -- like everyone else -- drained, flushed, and exhausted, but also satisfied.

Note the yellow warning label indicating that the largest person should sit on the left because, as I mentioned, they're the one who's going to be crushed by the weight of the other two riders on the bench-style seat as everyone's pulled toward the left by the machine's spinning. The drag is MUCH stronger than you might think.

I just selected various parts of the image individually (sign, sky, face) and adjusted levels.

Cheers Non-Chinese Lee!

I'm not certain whether I like the colour version or the B&W better.

I like the wider range of colours in this image, as well as the surreal orange objects in the foreground and the cluster of reflected lights near the top left.

Here is a less artistic, but easier to interpret, photo of the same instrument that's shown in the main image. The caopy if huge.
