Post Processing Challenge June 8, 2019

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.

 

Here's another shot that includes the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City. This is another time that I wished I had a tripod so that I could do exposure bracketing; but, I didn't...so, lets see what you do with it.

 

I started by using lens correction to remove barrel distortion and then used warp in Photoshop CS5 to straighten vertical lines. I then replaced the blank sky with a thuindercloud and added a lightening bolt. I used "midnight" setting in NIK ColorERfex to help make it into a nighttime scene.

Great image. Used LR to adjust shadows / highlights. Used NIK to add some Tonal Contrast

Converted to b/w in NIK’s Silver Efex Pro 2

That old pile in the background was impinging upon a lovely street scene, so I had the city elders raze it. DXO Viewpoint, recycle bin cloning, DAPainter “dma sketch” (user contributed template).

 

Aaahhhh...Québec city

I straighten perspective in Camera Raw, cropped, adjusted details and lighting in Color Efex

 

 

I shot the same street in winter...

 

I love Line's winter shot!

 

Here's another artistic-style processing.

In LR: lens correction, straighten

In PS: find edges, B&W adjustment, Brightness and Contrast adjustment, Charcoal and Chalk filter

In On1: Vignette, Postcard texture, Black border

 

Just experimenting here with a moonlit version.

RGB curves/channels.

 

We've been in lockdown way to long when it's fashionable to resurrect twenty past threads in one evening.

Action means progress.
