touch up | | trinko
(4310) [2007-03-31 18:32:07] | stretched out the histogram by using the curves command. you could use levels too. the idea is that the black points should correspond to say 5 counts and the white points to say 250 counts. in the orignal picture blacks had much higher values and whites had much lower ones.
i then selected the background with the magic wand tool and then inverted the selection
i then sharpened the seagull |
