Gerald Cafferty Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Nobody else wants ago then, so it must be me. Another weekly challenge. If, anyone else would like to post next week please give it a go, upload a High resolution jpeg. Just indicate your intentions by Thursday or early Friday. Remember there are no rules you can do what you wish in your interpretation, please can you give information of the steps taken and software used to add interest. It is not meant as a competition just a bit of fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikehegarty01 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Gerald great image. I copied the image in to Gimp. First I adjusted white and black points with the levels tool and adjusted exposure slightly. I then used the clone tool to remove the small boat that was behind the large boat. I also got rid of some objects floating in the water. Next I created 7 luminosity mask an seven layers to add color and contrast. I did all the color and contrast using the levels tool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_r Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 My version uses various Topaz Studio AI Remix copies saved on top of each other with final adjustments in Luminar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellinder Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Version (1) Used levels in PSE15 to adjust tonalities. Decided there wasn't much going on below the boat in the bottom, cropped just above it and a bit from the right. Converted to B&W in Silver Efex. Sharpened using Output Sharpener, then fine tuned tonality with PSE15. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellinder Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Version (2) Initially, used Color Efex detail extractor and high key filters. Used paint daubs and sponge tools in PSE15's Artistic menu and then boosted saturation using slider in PSE. Then used Output Sharpener. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn McCreery Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I tried various crops that might look good in B&W. This is what I ended up with. Since it was a peaceful scene, I used (for the first time) the "edge protected smooth noise" filter in Photokit Creative Sharpener, then added high tonal contrast to highlights and low tonal contrast to midtones and shadows and "glamour glow" in NIK ColorEfex. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Cafferty Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Following Glenn's lead I cropped down to a composition I liked in the distance. All adjustments carried out with LR 5.7. Basic adjustments and converted to B&W. After setting Black & White points applied a spit tone Blue & Red/Brown. Added vignette, finally sharpened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
