Post Processing Challenge June 27, 2020


Recommended Posts

There are no rules as to how you apply your post processing to this image; but, please let us know what you have done so we can all learn.

If you would like to post a candidate image next week, please ensure it is of sufficiently high resolution for manipulation by the participants (3000px on the long side, 300dpi for example).

 

Most of all, let's have fun while we are learning or demonstrating how we use our post-processing software, imaginations and interpretations.

 

The photo is of observers at the Old Faithful Lodge watching Old Faithful geyser erupt. 1247735725_oldfaithfulobservers.thumb.jpg.ad1d21f7ebf7357496deed7ed7b91249.jpg

—Where clouds come from—

In Photoshop:

  1. Selected the geyser with the lasso tool and used the refine edge brush to fine-tune the edge. Flipped it and enlarged it.
  2. Selected the left part of the clouds disappearing behind the lodge, enlarged and flipped them; then cloned out the originals.
  3. Ad libbed more clouds (and the missing part of the borrowed one) using the clone tool.

In Lightroom:

  1. Added some shading to the geyser and clouds with the adjustment brush
  2. Added graduated filter to reduce foreground exposure and highlights
  3. Used an adjustment brush to reduce clarity in the geyser and clouds
