VazaGothic Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The Two Trees on DeviantArt is in 800?1195 & the Space Needle is in 857?1280. I might be able to find the originals somewhere on my computer and they should be much higher resolution (most likely full 10MP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted August 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 2, 2008 Here are some pictures to show how much post-processing can change the quality of your work. The file sizes are quite high (796 KB and 1.08 MB) but it's worth the download. Check them out! Of course, comments are welcomed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livermore. I only go outside of that area like twice a year :/ Being in school cuts down on my travel, but I'll keep you in mind! Both pictures taken with Nikon D80 and Hoya R72 filter (EXIF Info available with the Original pictures). Lens used was the 18-135mm one.The postprocessig included switch of blue & red channels and small correction of saturation. Finished with a small touch-up on curves. Aww, I was hoping for flickr links so I could favorite those. I just got a hoya R72 recently, but I can't seem to PP like that. -Using CS2, I go into the channel mixer. -Under the Red channel I set the red slider to 0, and the blue slider to 100. -Under the Blue channel, I set the red slider to 100 and the blue slider to 0. That's how you switch the channels right? No? Edited August 2, 2008 by crazzy88ss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metro Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Was at Trillium Lake near Mt. Hood recently. How about an 11 shot infrared panorama? :D Original is here (1860 x 715): http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3008/270613...26e1e43ba_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowarek Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Okay so here's what I have. Everything was changed in Photoshop CS2: Growth This is the original picture. Growth Postprocessed Auto curves, auto color, and some tweaks to hue and saturation. Growth Vibrant Based off of Growth Postprocessed, changed hue and saturation again. Growth Sepia Based off of Growth Postprocessed, changed saturation so that it was black and white, then added sepia filter. Growth Exposure Based off of Grwoth Postprocessed, added exposure. Please let me know which you think is best so that I have a better idea on what I should be looking toward while postprocessing. Please also critique the original image. I am an amateur photographer and am looking to get better. Without a DSLR camera for the time being. This photo was taken using a Canon Powershot S2 IS.

Draconian Guppy Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 #2 is nice for me, then again, I prefer much pale colors when it comes to Plants :p And exposure one hurts my eyes :) BTW you don't need a DSLR to shoot nice photos :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if I can add maybe some filter to the exposure it might look better. But I do agree that it is a little bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowless911 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I wanted to have your opinions on this one because I can't seem to have a solid one whether should I post it on DA or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metro Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hey Fowarek, The first image looks the best to me, in all honesty. I just calibrated my monitor a few days ago and calibrate frequently. The only thing I might do with that image is shoot the hue of the yellow channel slightly towards the greens and get a little more green out of the plants. Kick up the contrast a tad and you shall have a nice photo. You might even experiment with the dodge tool on the bottom leaves and dodge the midtones a little bit too. Might balance the foreground a little with the flower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p858snake Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Growth Sepiahttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3294/272330..._bfda539097.jpg Thats more grayscale than sepia, sepia should be a shade of brown basically. some examples: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/sepia/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I pointed out I made it greyscale first, and then added a sepia filter. I just really didn't want it to be a full blown out sepia picture, because I don't think it would have complimented the picture very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted August 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 3, 2008 It looks my days of amateur photography are over. Due to financial problems, my father has decided to return his camera (Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd). Now I'm stuck with a crappy 5-megapixel cell phone digital camera. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
