Haha, this exactly went through my mind...

Well, I'd be disappointed too if I couldn't ribbon by picking my best shot in three years...

I'm actually questioning whether or not that was actually her photo to begin with ... I know that there are quite a few talented young uns out there ... but her profile claims that she's only 16 ... woulda been 14 when that shot was taken ... if it really is her photograph then she has some amazing talent and I'd love to see more of her recent work ...

It works in PS also, using the color balance adjustment (but I can't remember how right now). Something about turning everything green except for the red ribbon, then desaturating the greens. It really works.

I've snipped Alienyst out of the above for space. I just did something in PS 7.0. The slider thing seems very similar. What is different and not intuitive, is that you need to select a (any) colour channel from the menu at the top of the window before the sliders appear and/or become operative.

I was out today and thought I'd try B. Music's f8 1/125 recipe for street pics. (Digital blessings allowed me to adopt ISO 3200 for the occasion).

Notice the grey cabbage. By including just a smidgeon more green at the end of the yellow spectrum, I - er - cured(?) that. When you play around with the sliders, the name of the channel at the top of the hue/saturation window changes accordingly. I just ignored that. I suppose cyan is central to the sector(s) of the colour circle that get desaturated.

Oh, just editing to add - in case the disingenuous little lady really is 16, cut her slack.

People see all the leaves on the ground and assume they must be brown, dead leaves, which have a strong red component.

I was always under the assumption that it would work to have a blue dress, desaturate everything but blues, then change the hue to red. *shrug*

I'd like 2 more to go then I can get that little star next to my image ;)

That works too. I'd thought of that myself.

Maybe someone needs to walk me through this because when I attempt it (and I have tried it), I always tend to get pixelation in the color rather than some pretty shade of a color. I use hue/saturation. Should I be using something else?

Selective Color

And Neat Image. You profile a spot in your pixelation. It will tell you the profile quality is pitifully low, but then it will only apply the NI to the portions with that particular noise profile and leave the rest of the image alone. I used a fair bit of every color-shifting tool available to me in this photo and NI is what smoothed out the green background that wasn't actually green in real life:

So would this be basic legal still? SInce your not applying it to the whole image? Or is it applied to the whole image just selectiveley by NI to that profile?

Applied to the whole image, but NI ignores the rest of the photo since it doesn't have the noise signature it's looking for.

Don't take it too personally. A lot of folks here have seen it too often that someone new comes in, places surprisingly high for a first challenge, and then later gets DQ'd for this or that. I wish people weren't so jaded and distrustful about the whole thing, but they are. Stick around and people will get to know you a bit more and loosen up and you'll learn a whole heck of a lot - when I joined in April, the technical aspects of this debate would have made my head spin. ;-)

Go forth and sin no more but as an aside, welcome to DPC. :-P

It takes awhile but you gotta grow a thick skin. On the rules, learn them, know them, live them ...

Glad your here hope your Pink Floyd entry does well.

I'm afraid entering a shot 3 years old processed using advanced rules in a basic challenge is going to be a bit hard for me to get over.

Not to say it can't be done, but it wasn't a good start.

Sure we can give you a break, welcome to DPC but can you explain the EXIF data which comes from your photo with a date from 2004 and from a camera you dont have in your profile? BTW its a lovely photo I just cant help but not get past that the photo wasnt taken with your camera or even this year. We all make mistakes its how we deal with them that counts in a community.

I'm sorry but I have to agree with the Doc
