(13479) [2004-12-22 17:05:31] [6] | I thought your pic would benefit of a more dramatic golden light, also I cropped slightly the bottom part to exagerate the height differences between the boy and the buddha. IMO he now seems smaller and hardly reaching to the statue.
1- crop bottom part about 10 pix
2 - some history brush strokes using curves : the idea is to contrast more the light parts in order to make the patterns jump out of the wall and to dramatize the light on both boy and buddha.
3- produced a color shift towards a golden/orangy cast using color balance and pushing the levels towards yelow and red 15pts each side.
4- framed around the image with a black border and a white frame. |

Vintage Blad and TriX | | Luko
(13479) [2004-12-13 18:02:26] [6] [+] | I think i prefer to have the line with no starting or finishing point. A line's a line, privileges do not end, I think tere are too many features to get a strong view on the rope, I'll then make it simpler with a crop.
Then fiddled with the history brush to get more contrast on the rope and the interesting slipper poking from the right side.
Tweaked the color balance towards yellow to get a nice warm tone like a print on Agfa papers.
Added that Blad+TriX black frame and a polaroid style white outer framing.
Looks like taken around '78... we don't need that stinkin' mkII... ;)... |

white sky | | greg
(2837) [2004-09-06 05:25:37] [1] | | I brought the sky to white with levels, intensified the blacks a little at the other end. Brought some detail back to the bright house from the original layer (perhaps I should have done more here). Removed some remnants of the horizon with an eraser (and the top of the aerial pole). Cropped a fraction tighter. Hope you like it. |

Crop, contrast masking, colour balance | | AdrianW
(2193) [2004-09-05 14:08:21] [2] | Although I really liked the original composition, I felt that the main element - the corridor - was too central, so I cropped to put things into more thirds/diagonal positions.
I used Contrast Masking (NewLayerViaCopy/Desaturate/Invert/BlurGaussian 19px/MergeModeOverlay100%) to bring out some more shadow detail.
Then I used colour balance to increase the amount of yellow slightly to warm the images (5 towards Yellow).
Finally applied USM (52%, 0.8px, 0) to the brightness channel in LABcolor to bring out a little more fine detail.
Just a suggestion :-) |

Rotation + Crop | | Porteplume
(3066) [2004-08-23 15:37:32] [1] | Bonsoir Thien,
I just rotated the maximum to "make" the left girl smaller and did a tighter crop (also necessary because of the rotation) - Now it looks like there is more balance, 1st because of the colour version, the green sjawl at the right and 2nd because the left girl is a bit smaller. What do you think?

layer blending + mask | | torben
(3061) [2004-08-03 15:43:10] [1] | I wanted to slightly darken and saturate the foreground but not the background so I knew I would need a mask to control the effect.
I opened the Channels palette and examined each channel to see that the red had the greatest contrast between foreground and background so I Cmd-clicked on it in the Channels palette to select its contents.
With the selection active I opened the Layers palette and made a copy of the background layer and clicked on the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of the palette.
Then I changed the layer blending mode of the copied layer to Multiply, and the mask limited the effect of this to the lighter areas, the ones I wanted to change in the first place. The effect was a bit too strong so I changed layer opacity to 70%.
Flattening the image and a few dabs with the Burn tool on the rump of the cow finished the job. |

(3972) [2004-05-30 08:39:29] | Grate picture as it is, and I like the darknes but in order to dig out more details I:
1) duplicate image
2) select B/W mode to the duplicated picture
3) Gaussian blur 4 pixel
4) returned to original photo and select >load selection>copy/gray 50%/invert
5) edit>fill>50% gray/color dodge/80% 3 times!
6) unsharp mask 100%/0.6 pixel/level 2
7) balanced saturation
