Done using Color Efex Pro. Tonal Contrast applied to the buildings only (including reflection) using removal control points on the other bits of the image and additive on the buildings, then Duplex filter applied to the rest of the image using control points in the same way. |

Adjust exposure in ACR.
Crop in CS4.
Slightly enlarge eyes (Liquify/Bloat Filter). Sharpen and brighten eyes and hair. Adjust skin tone and soften skin. |

Oooh, I love PP challenges. I don't really have any time, but I can't resist overediting someone else's photo! :)
I'll be the first to have a go at [user]JulienNN[/user]'s image...
Editing steps are in the image comments. |

Full resolution for your viewing pleasure horror - I'm a PP noob. The really tall smokestack looks really badly tonemapped, but there's no tonemapping at all. The original has the weird halos too, I think it must've been a sharpened original or something. Anyway, I couldn't take those out.
ETA: Ughh, I just noticed the weird blocky banding in the sky. Don't know what to do about it :(.
Banding gone by making a new layer, pasting the original, setting it to Hue. Sure, the hues are now the same as in the original... but the hues in the original are very nice.
ETA: Next one:
I think I like the original better lol
Also full-res.

No the original is the original straight out of the camera.
I think it is a good idea to quote who the original image belongs too in the photographer's notes sections. Please.

There are certainly some thin halos in the original, I just assumed it was because of sharpening. Thumb link to original is now posted in the notes section, as is your name.

Thanks for that. BTW, that was not directed at you, but definitely a general comment to everyone in the side challenge :) |

Another bite at this apple... trying to get the late (or early) day atmospherics by a bit of darkening, a bit of overall warming (warming filter) and a bit more warming in the sky.
 First try was this:  |

Almost halfway there! Anyone wanting to donate an original (2 max), you have until midnight. Post processing will last until Friday midnight. I'll give all the people who donated originals Saturday and Sunday to let me know which edit they like best. We'll do this for 4 weeks and the post processor with the most wins gets the award (haven't gotten to that part yet, but if any graphic designers out there want give it a shot, that'd be great).
Here's what we have so far...
ETA: I've moved the PPed images to the original post so as not to lose it.
