 enriched tones and framed :-) | chiaraluna
(2560) [2006-01-13 12:53:26] [6] | wanted to keep this lovely gentle mood you've created but just try to enrich the tones and softness a little..
* added a little usm and ajdusted level to slighty brighten
* then ran a 'radiance filter' to deepen tones and shadow/light contrast but keeping it very soft..
* than a little more levels adjustment and a simple black frame
really hope you like it and once again, welcome to TL :-)

 black & white view :-) | chiaraluna
(2560) [2006-01-05 13:29:07] [8] | just love b&w so i wanted to see how this lovely image would look this way..
this was just greyscale conversion, levels and channel mixer used to deepen contrasts, a bit of usm and 2 black/white gradient maps applied to deep tones, the second one faded by 25%
hope you like it :-)

 ready to hang on the wall :-) | chiaraluna
(2560) [2005-12-28 05:57:05] [6] | loved this so much.. and thought it would make an excellent poster to hang on the wall! so i prepared this workshop that i really hope you'll like :-)
what i did:
* reduced size a little to allow for framing
* added some usm and more contrast by pushing the levels of both highlights and shadows for even more drama and intensity..
* and finally framed in a poster style with a little added text..
take care,
Ayda |

* and finally framed
hurray for fairies! ^_^

 b&w and highlighting her expression :-) | chiaraluna
(2560) [2005-10-04 08:41:15] [2] | here it is as promised Lorenzo :-)
solo un semplice nuova visione in bianco e nero.. come e' la mia ossessione ^_^ spero tanto che ti piace!
wanted to try a little black and white treatment and some processing to focus on the mystery, allure and intrigue of this very beautiful girl..
* so i cropped it a little tighter to focus on her gaze
* made black & white with a gradient map to keep the tones rich
* increased contrasts with levels and brightness/contrast
* added a lighting effect to detract from the background, highlight her expression and 'kiss' her with light
* then a bit of USM and framing
just a different way to look at an already stunning photo of this beauty.. hope you like it!
saluti :-)
