Unsharp masking + noise reduction | | Dpbours
(2) [2008-02-15 05:02:12] [2] | I started with an usm of +5, 40 pix radius, 10 treshold.
Then a 150% USM, 0.3 pix radius and 0 treshold. Edit-fade to lighter, 100% opacity.
Last a 80% USM, 0.3 pix radius and 0 treshold. Edit fade to darker, 100% opacity.
And in the end a noise reduction on the background with Noise Ninja photoshop plugin.
I did crop a bit of the right and the top as well to place the bird a bit differently into the compo. Hope you like it! |

USM, hue, sat and lightness | | Dpbours
(2) [2008-02-14 09:41:59] [3] | I started with some unsharp masking:
150%, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold. Then edit-fade to lighter. 100% opacity.
After that 80% USM, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold. Edit-fade to darker. 100% opacity.
After that I played with the hue, saturation and lightness of the various colour channels to just give it a little bit more punch.
I added a white frame with a thin grey line to isolate it a bit more from the light blue TL background. Hope you like it! |

Velvia Vision + USM | | Dpbours
(2) [2008-01-28 06:55:39] [2] | I wanted the overall feel a bit lighter. For that, I used velvia vision plugin. What it basically does is that it combines brightness/contrast, highlight/shadows and hue/saturation to get that velvia feel. I mostly adjusted on the dynamic range, to get the sun hitting the foreground a bit brighter.
After that an unsharp mask, 80%, 0.3 pix, 0 treshold. Edit-fade to light - 100 percent opacity.
After that the same, but then edit-fade to dark - 100 percent opacity.
Hope you like it! |

Velvia Vision + USM | | Dpbours
(2) [2008-01-10 04:57:21] [2] | I used a plugin for photoshop called Velvia Vision. You can enhance contrast and warmth with it, but it only enhances the harsher colours - like Velvia film would. You see the enhancement especially in the green and the orange-tones here. I used contrast 1, warmth 1, 20% effect and 80% opacity overlay in the plugin.
Then an USM 80%, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold. After that an edit-fade to light w 100% opacity.
And last an USM 80%, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold. After that an edit-fade to darker w 100% opacity.
The last two bring out the little details without creating too much noise. Hope you like it! |

unsharp masking | | Dpbours
(2) [2007-12-27 11:33:46] [1] | Hi Jan,
I like the low colour tone in your photograph, but it could be a tad sharper.
I used two unsharp masks. The first one 150%, 0.3 pix at 0 treshold. Then edit-fade towards darker with 100% opacity.
Second a 150%, 0.3 pix at 0 treshold. Then edit-fade towards lighter with 100% opacity.
Hope you like it! |
