Gerald Cafferty Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Vongries Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Nice photo - just balanced the exposure a bit, to enrich it. Several interesting crops possible. Edited November 17, 2018 by Sandy Vongries 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehegarty01 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Gerald this is an outstanding image. I used Gimp. First I adjusted the white and black points with the Levels tool. I created a new desaturated layer that I used to make luminosity mask. I used the luminosity mask to adjust color saturation and contrast. I added an un-sharpen mask to finish up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemorrell Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 What a great photo, GC! The scene somehow reminded me of a photo I took in France many years ago, just before the evening sun set over the hills. Just - for the fun of it - I had a go at trying to emulate a 'even lower sun' in Photoshop. I went about it by: - adding a warmer (orange) filter to sunlight areas and a cooler (blue-purple) filter to shadows - sharpening the contrast in areas (like trees, roof tiles) that typically might have been even more strongly side-lit - darkening some shadowed areas to simulate the effect of less (reflected) light - adding more color and contrast to clouds (which I'm still not happy with) It was fun to do and I tried not to overkill the photo. The exercise helped me realize just how difficult it is to 'change the quality of light' in PP for landscape photos. And how knowledgeable and skilled landscape painters were/are w.r.t light and color. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellinder Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 All work done in PSE15. Used levels to create a low key atmosphere. Then, selectively saturated using sponge tool. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn McCreery Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I am traveling and have Affinity Photo on my Macbook, but not my usual Photoshop CS5. I was playing around with cropping and then adding a black and white layer with various blending modes and opacities. I settled on the "negation" blend mode which does some interesting things. However, I can find no information through the Affinity web site as to exactly what it does, other than "we are working on it". Photoshop CS5 does not have this blend mode. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuntaColorada Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Thanx for the opportunity to play with your photo, Gerald. 1st is a bit of LR adjustments, sharpening and then blurring in PS. This one required PS to adjust the canvas size, transformed the dimensions to fit the tall canvas and then content aware fill about 1/3 of the sky. Some dynamic range and tonal adjustments in OnOne Raw and Bob's your uncle. Edited November 17, 2018 by PuntaColorada 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellinder Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Another try. Adjusted tonality in PSE15, levels. Then used a vintage film preset in Color Efex, readjusted tonality with levels. Then used "find edges" filter in PSE. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
