 Winter desert (50) szekelykristof
(12589) | | Such as my previous upload, this photo was taken from a ski lift, too. I liked the untouched snow on the neighbouring ridge, so I created this minimalist composition that resembles a desert landscape. Only the colours and the temperature are different. :) |

Weird LAB curves to turn snow into sand.
Was a lot of trial and error.
Mask for the snow, masks out the sky.
Was pretty easy, as described in the 1st ws entry. |

(12589) Weird LAB work (snow to sand) Edited by:AttilaLToth
(534) |
The purpose was to try to change the snow into sand.
I did following moves in cs3:
- switched image to lab color mode
"mask for the snow part" (for later use)
- duplicated your photo to a new document
- in the duplicate applied a curves layer to the l-channel: light-end inwards 20%, dark-end inwards 30%
- switched the duplicate to grayscale thus obtaining the mask (see 2dn ws entry)
"snow to sand"
- added a curves adjustment layer to original document
- adjusted l, a and b until the snow looked somewhat like desert sand (see 2nd ws entry)
- clicked the mask of the curves adjustment layer
- applied the grayscale to the mask, thus the curves affect only the sand not the sky
- sharpened the mask with usm (500/250/0) thus making the sand brown and grainy, "mars-like"
- tried various blurs to make the sand more golden and sticked with surface blur (100/255)
- applied that 20-times to the layer mask thus making the sand more golden...
Well... if you don't like this, please feel free to delete it.
Thank you and best wishes,
