reframe | | vanderschelden
(27816) [2006-08-16 12:53:30] [1] | wing was unsharp...I think it couldn't be done with the USM...at least I can't do it.
So I tried another cropping, cutting away the unsharp part of the wing.
So doing..making another composition.
Note that your version wasn't bad. Hope you don't mind, Peter.
Greetings

sharpening / noise reduct / bg cleaning | | peter_stoeckl
(9377) [2006-05-17 16:10:03] [3] | That rare and pretty shot deserves a little postwork treatment.
Photoshop Elements:
1. Lasso tool selection of moths and flower
2. Sharpening filter on selected area
3. Selection inverted
4. Noise reduction on BG
5. Repeatedly selecting noisy BG parts close to moths and flower by magig wand selection tool toerance 20% and applying noise reduction tightly to contours of moths and flower.
6. Brightness reduced - 16
7. Saturation increased +12
8. BG treated to "clean" and to increase depth by lightening up the upper areas by selected bright blue grey, and darkening the lower parts by selecting dark brown spray paint with transparency 20 %.
Hope you enjoy. |

selective sharpening, cleaning of BG | | peter_stoeckl
(9377) [2006-05-16 12:30:01] [1] | That interesting image looks like a scan in from an analog source, and so it may take some little digital postwork to further improve its impact:
Photoshop Elements:
1. Selecting butterfly by lasso tool as close to the contours as possible.
2. Sharpening filter on selected butterfly.
3. Inverting selection.
4. Noise reduction filter on BG
5. Scratch and dust removal on strongly spotted BG areas by lasso tool selection.
6. Magic wand selection of noisy areas of BG close to butterfly contours - noise reduction on these areas.
7. Spray paint with transparency 20 percent on right upper corner of BG and to the left border in order to remove some distracting details and to add further depth.
8. Saturation of all colours increased + 12
9. Saturation of yellow alone further increased: + 12.
Writing (and reading) the description takes longer than the described postwork.
Hope you enjoy. |

shrapness and gamma correction | | gurupawan
(1753) [2006-05-09 13:10:18] [4] | Hi peter ,
I have worked a bit on this good pic. Corrected gamma settings and bit of sharpness on to it. Let me know if it makes any difference.

(958) [2006-04-20 04:47:32] [4] | In "highlights and shadows," shadows +3%, highlights +50%
Adjust colour balance slightly to "warm up" the image.
Select noisy areas of background and run "dust and scratches" @ 3 pixels.
Clone out remaining obvious dust spots. |

Brightness & halftone modify | | Christopher_PL
