Here's a PS rework that I was very pleased with. I had a hard time exposing this one because of the time of day. The sun was low & behind some trees. The sky blew out when I exposed the windmill right & windmill was too dark if I exposed the sky right. Curves & levels are a wonderful thing ;)


Great work fixing that one up. Looks natural.

I just found a couple more I just had to add. Maybe they belong in another thread too For Your Viewing Pleasure. But I'll just expose you all to them once.



Shot these while stuck in NY....Bored out of my mind!

To add thread link.

I guess that fits the topic? It's my biggest edit so far.

Well and:

My sister is not the kind of person that would have her portrait done. So, I'm working one making one out of a shapshot.

I like the "old styke" feel to your edit, but I think it looks a bit flat and lacks contrast. Is that a characteristic of old photos? I don't know, but I think it should have some black blacks and white whites to give it more 'umph' :)

Keith, what font is that you used ("Erin")?

I didn't consider this photo to be a keeper for a long time after I took it because it was so underexposed. Then I learned about ways of recovering shadow and highlight detail and experimented on it. To my surprise there was stil a lot of detail in the photo. I recently re-edited it again using the new Shadow/Highlight filter in PScs and the results were even better. I then decided to convert it to BW and add the film grain effect which seemed to compliment the photo. The grain is much more evident in the full size image. I was really glad I could save this photo because it means a lot to me. My friend in this photo died last year and this image captures him better then any of my other photos of him.

It's one I found on the net, but I can't remember where
it is a truetype font called "arabolic"

from the notes:
Arabolic TTfont. version 1.1 from afontgarde.
Updated, 05-Oct-2000
Loosely parabolic by design, looks vaguely like some
elegant Middle-Eastern script.
Hence the Arabolical name.
Includes numbers and all the usual characters.
Arabolic may be used freely for any purpose
(or whatever you think is a fair thing).
feedback welcomed
