Post-processing challenge 9 April 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.

As we can see from the original, the tonality is rather flat and dark. Changes were made in the latest version of PS.

 

The first step was to create additional layers as 'smart objects' for history and fine-tuning after combination. A high pass layer was added and details extracted. Then a layer mask for the clouds--which adds drama. These layers were then grouped. Then a bit of color enhancement (vibrance & hue) and a touch of solarization through Nik. Finally, a little vignetting was added to concentrate the visual interest points. And Voila!
