| Workshop Note |
Purpose: To bring out a little more detail in Uscha's eyes and suggest a slightly tighter crop.
Method: Brought out a little more shadow detail using the Contrast Masking technique(NewLayerViaCopy, Desaturate, Invert, Blur/GaussianBlur 19px) Merge mode Overlay at 75%. Converted to LABcolor, then Gaussian Blurred A and B channels 1.2px to smooth out any colour noise. Sharpened using USM on the Brightness channel only. Converted back to RGB. Hue/Saturation Cyan/Blue -60 to reduce the slight coloured fringes around her edges against the snow, master saturation +20 to emphasise her eyes. Finally NewLayerViaCopy, BlurGaussian 2.4px then used a large soft-edged eraser at 10% to bring back detail in her face and "mane".
Not suggesting that it's an improvement, just that it's an alternative presentation :-) |
