| Ali Watters (Ali) Msg: #1 June 2nd 2005 16:10:22 | Well - I can't believe I've just spent 20mins editing a picture of urinals :) I've only seen urinals in as public a place as this at festivals in the west... Here is a workshop: I used the lasso tool to select the areas I consider to be the background, then blurred it. Then I reduced the saturation and lightness of the background - till I was happy with it. Next I selected the entire image and increased the contrast by 6 and decreaced the brightness by 14. I think I have a bright high contrast monitor - so I hope it doesn't look too dark on others... Hope you like the results - gets the eye focused on the topic of the photo anyway.

| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #2 June 3rd 2005 13:33:42 | Thanks for the Re-edit. Demonstrates that there are multiple valid versions of most photos. I choose o leave the background unblurred as it helped set the 'context' in my mind. Blurring focuses attention on the pee pots. (Not that they don't grab your eyes anyway. ;o) BTW, I used the selection brush to make my selection of foreground/background. In original capture the background was really bright and the foreground quite dark. Case of bad lighting conditions - not being there at the right sun time. | |||||||||||||||||||||
