Decided to have a quick go in photoshop with it.
A few curve adjustment layers masked on and then a bit of the burn tool, if you don't like it
I will take it down.
Daves not got edit pictures ticked or I would have had a go as well, dont suppose he'll mind though
Fairly happy with the pic, although she might not be but seems a bit flat to me...
any tips on making the picture more 'punchy'? (done the usual levels, vibrance, saturation stuff on PS)... sadly just shot on a grey day
Yeah I just saw that as well, will take it down as not to offend anybody
It also looks slightly OOF on my monitor.
Cheers for the pointers folks. I am not sure of the site rules etc but personally I have no problem with people posting edited versions.
Cheers Chaz. Definitely brought out some of the colour, but not sure if its my monitor or is there an overly green tinge?
Thanks for the layers info though. Gives me something to play with.
A very experienced photographer and truly gifted user of Photoshop said at our club night a few weeks ago. Post processing will never make a bad shot good it can only make a good shot better.
No offence to Dave but that appears to hold true in this case.
Mark.
In fact, with Photoshop, a seasoned photog doesnt even have to try to make a good image. Just throw your mundane, boring-ass picture into Photoshop and let the ****ing magical CS5 unicorns do their work.
There may not be an un-suck filter, but 15 layer masks can come pretty damn close.
Yep - I think Kipax's edit takes it.Cheers for the edits folks. Good to see the different flavour people put on the pic.
On my works PC but on here the most natural edit seems to be Kipax's attempt.
Can you just give me a summary if you dont mind Kipax on how you got there? Many thanks.
