| Justin Watson (Justin) Msg: #1 May 10th 2007 08:40:20 | I have to say this is a pretty original photo of the great wall. I wish the umbrella was red though. red umbrellas always seem to make great photos..... Still your photo captures the great wall enough that i'm not squinting trying to work out what that is in the background. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #2 May 10th 2007 17:58:05 | How about some more saturation and sharpening? |

| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #3 May 10th 2007 18:10:03 | Bob's having a shaky morning. Please ignore the B&W, there's no way to remove incorrect posts that I know. And Revision 1 was made using the Workshop page version - a reduced size version of the full sized submit. I did the same saturation increase and sharpening with the full sized version and posted as Revision 3. I was seeing a lot of Jpeg artifacts in my R1. A bit of info for the new folks.... If you hit Reply on a shot with multiple posted revisions you'll get a handy screen that allows you to see any version alongside any other version by scrolling up/down.

| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #4 May 11th 2007 02:50:45 | Nice shot! You've captured this well - and it's unusual to see the wall without cloud, so you were lucky too. If I were to suggest anything, I wonder whether the couple under the umbrella would be better placed in the right hand side - to form a diagonal with the wall? Anyway, just for Justin, a red brolly :) How? Selected the umbrella using Magnetic Lasso, then use Paintbrush in Color mode with Red as the foreground - then fiddled with Saturation/Lightness until the colours felt somewhere near right. Resized to 50% so any errors in the selection didn't show quite so much, then sharpened. |

| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #5 May 11th 2007 02:52:42 | I have to love the amount of compression Jeber applies by default - that looked OK before I uploaded it... Didn't want to pad it to 800px, as it's only 600px long edge. Ali, if you're listening - how's about reducing the amount of compression applied to smaller images? | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Justin Watson (Justin) Msg: #6 May 11th 2007 08:51:56 | Thanks Adrian. I was going to do that myself when i had time... Been going through some photoshop books so i'm looking for little projects to improve my skills. I assume you've seen the new selection tool in CS3. It seems to do quite a good job. Not sold on the red now.... It kind of dominates the image. I've seen numerous photos and if it wasn't for the red umbrella in the dreary conditions the photo wouldn't be the same... ok a generalisation much like my always shoot night photos at dusk idea :-) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #7 May 11th 2007 15:45:10 | Justin, how's about you make it one of those multicoloured umbrellas - that should be a slightly more interesting challenge. For that matter you could have a go at fixing the colour balance on Bob's "shaver". You're right, the CS3 selection tools are better. Have you used the final version? I was playing with the beta, and that wasn't very stable - I assume the release version is? | |||||||||||||||||||||
