This is an old photo, taken nearly twenty years ago, at Tintagel in Cornwall. This was the place of King Arthurs´s Castle, but only ruins remain today.

This is a scan from a negative.

I have been very impressed by Luko's sharpening method lately, and have used it on my last 3 postings.

It doesn't always work, but in most cases, apart from the sharpening, it seems to give increased impact to the image.

I have set it up as an action in PS 7, so that that it only needs one click to apply it.

I thought I would try it out here.

I just adjusted the curve slightly [in RGB: input 65: output 55.] before applying it.

What do you think, Gunnar?

I've done the following:
in smart photo correction:

1. - 10 shadows
2. Automatic colour
3. + 25 saturation
4. + 5 sharpness.

then in curve correction I've made it a little darker. Hope you'll like my job.
