PS correction | | petrudamsa
(2450) [2007-06-29 22:27:55] [2] | To bring some brilliance to the bird's plummage:
1. Selected the bird with magnetic lasso tool.
2. Modify selection: contract 2 pixels
3. Modify selection: feather 2 pixels
4. Adjusted the brightness and contrast on the selection
5. slight unsharp mask on the selection
and voila... |

brighten, saturate | | petrudamsa
(2450) [2006-02-15 01:02:03] [2] | I brightened the image so that the birds colours and details can be better seen. I did a slight saturation for the same reason.
A bit of unsharp mask, followed by partial blurring of the BG.
Added a simple frame.

brightness, saturation | | petrudamsa
(2450) [2006-01-19 01:13:28] [7] | I ran Autolevels at 70%. That opened the light and gave some contrast.
I ran Autocolor 10% on Soft light mode. That gave some more contrast between colours.
Adjusted a bit the saturation.
I felt that having a gray BG (probably overcast sky), the tree and the bird should have some more vivid colours to counterbalance the lack of colour from BG. |
