Challenge: Black on Black II (Basic Editing)
Collection: 2010-11-12
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX APO Macro EX DG HSM for Nikon
Location: Trail, BC (Canada)
Date: Apr 6, 2010
Aperture: f3.5

Shutter: 1/6 sec
Galleries: Black and White, Macro
Date Uploaded: Apr 6, 2010

 Made indoors, artificial light. Camera on tripod, polarizer lens.

Converted from RAW.

In PSCS4, added a "selective color" adjustment layer blended in normal to darken blues and cyans (set black to 100% for both blues and cyans). Copied this adjustment layer 3 more times to darken blues/cyans further. Flattened image.

Switched to lab mode. Added two "curves" adjustment layers blended in normal, adjusted lightness (strong contrast curve) in first layer, desaturated (by flattening out both "a" and "b") in second. Flattened.

Switched back to RGB, resized in steps, NN with unsharp mask, added border, saved for web.
