Another photo from Cook Islands, it was taken the day before leaving...
Scanned and a bit of workshop with PSP (noise reduction, unsharp mask, more contrast and saturation). I have to say that after the workshop the image is more similar to what I saw there.

Hi,

I removed some red from the picture and I added some sharpness to make it looks more real.



Hope you enjoy it like that !

Hi Stefano,



I thought that your beautiful photo had a purple tint to it, so I did some colour adjustments and other things in my Jasc Paint Shop Pro. Here's what I did:

- Adjusted the hue -76 towards Cyan from red.

- Adjusted the hue +17 towards blue from yellow.

- Brightness -5

- Contrast +12

- Unsharp mask

- low level smoothing in Neat Image, with a 25% sharpening included.



I think I may have overdone the blue a little, but I like it better that way - it looks more like paradise!

There's not much detail left in this version due to all the changes both you and I made, so I would suggest going back to the original and applying some of the changes from there.



Unfortunately, there's not much I can do with the overexposed sand. You should be able to decrease the brightness in the sand in the original, but not here, as all these adjustments have destroyed most of the detail in the shot.



I hope you like it!



Mike
