Cropping | | vanderschelden
(30145) [2008-12-26 13:07:40] | Well, it's actually done to show how cropping can enhance your work.
I did also very quickly some other stuff in a developer or editor(Adobe in this case) such as contrast, sharpening and so forth. A bit playing with the sliders. Take into account this is done very quickly and there's always room for improvement.
Well this fellow will probably always be ugly;-)

JPEG in ACR | | vanderschelden
(30145) [2008-08-02 12:54:04] [3] | Well Anne,
You uploaded a beautiful image. Well done...
I usually develop RAW images in the ACR (Adobe Camera Raw). This time I used your Jpeg TN-upload though.
Quick overview workflow:
1. Color temperature: made the image a tad 'colder'
2. Recovery highlights: I wanted to try especially that one, 'cause this isn't a RAW image; the slider was set quite a lot to the right to get detail/info/data into the white parts as much as possible . Still have to compare the results online...
3.A little more vibrance or saturation. Maybe I made the colours somewhat too cold.
4.I mentioned in my quick note you managed to get a good compo through that square; well I figured out it wasn't exactly a square:-) I thought: what if I should try to get a square after all. This wasn't posssible at first sight. What I did was the following: I took the crop tool, draw a square and saw there was a white space above the image; I cloned this space with the cloning tool using the green background.
5.Finally I opened the image in Photoshop in which I did some selective sharpening through USM in a specific channel in LAB mode. In LAB mode I also blurred your background a bit, having inverted the aforementioned selection.
6. ...and a white frame
I hope it was somehow useful. Thanks and I wish a very nice day.

(30145) [2008-02-08 13:49:14] [4] | Hello Ivan,
You allowed me to provide a workshop.
First of all I want to say (type:-) I like your image as indicated in the critique.
I wondered if I could do something about the overall bluish through changing the white balance. At least that was my first idea. However through some trial and error I decided to adjust the exposure a bit and also to adjust the tone curve instead of the white balance.
Concerning the latter, I changed the graph in an S
shape. I have to say I did change the white balance a little bit as well; made the image warmer.
Finally I sharpened your work.
Quick overview:
1. exposure; made it brighther; not too much to avoid degrading the image
2. tone curve; adjusted the highlights, lights, darks and shadows by using the appropriate slider;fine-tune your S shape!
3. a tad more saturation
4. white balance; a bit warmer
5. sharpened
6. forgot to mention I cropped a bit, to apply the rule of thirds composition wise...
Hope you like it.
Kind regards,
Annick |

white balance | | vanderschelden
(30145) [2008-02-06 09:10:37] [1] | Hello Tabatha,
What I did actually...
1. imported your work in an editor; Adobe Lightroom actually
2. slightly adjusted the exposure; made it a bit darker
3. changed the colour temperature; the white balance
4. adjusted the tonal curve; shadows, darks, lights and highlights.
5. Some minor touch up adjustments
6. neutral frame
Hope you like it...
Kind regards,
Annick |
