Post-processing challenge 12 March 2022


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.

 

Mike

Some 90's blues, red channel on selected sky, soft light contrast with a layer style blending sliders, USM with a big radius, 85 filter to harmonize...

Probably just few seconds with ACR sliders nowadays...

This photo has a foreground that looks better to me in color and a background church and sky that look better in black and white, as Tom has shown. So why not have both?

 

I selected the funhouse and used"warp" in Photoshop, then copied the warped selection. Next, I straightened the perspective of the image and converted it to black and white in NIK SilverEfex, then pasted the warped funhouse on the image as a separate layer. I selected various foreground tourists from the original image and pasted them over their black and white counterparts, and finally, added a border.

This was a very 'quick one' from me yesterday (dashing out for a day trip) and I always wonder whether and how people can PP a photo. And of course, whether they're interested enough in the photo to spend any time on it. I continue to be amazed by the creativity of PP challenge contributors! I'm beginning to learn that it doesn't matter so much which photos I (or anyone else) post. PP challenge contributors always find a unique and creative way of applying their PP techniques.

 

My PP take was to blend in the lurid fairground with the tones of the cathedral:

- sampled to two color tones from the cathedral (medium and dark)

- applied these on masked color layers to the fairground

- adjusted the colors with 'curves'

- @tom_r reminded me to remove the (many) phone lines!
