| Team-BHP Support |  Step 1. Used auto level. (ctrl/shift/L for PC/ apple/shift/L for Mac). This is however, not a must and won't work every time. Step 2. Used curve tool (ctrl M for PC/ apple M for Mac). Pulled down the tone. Step 3. Used selective colour tool (only green channel) to improve green. Step 4. Used contrast tool (+2). Brightness is untouched. Step 5. Duplicated layer. Added multiply... Cut opacity to 70%. Step 6. Added layer mask. Used gradiant tool (foreground to transparent) from bottom to top. Step 7. Used airbrush tool (pressure 10%) to bring back the lost details by wiping mask. You can see the hills behind now. Greens look better. Sky has more depth. But please remember, there are no fix process for improving images. Also, above steps are not only ways to follow. Last edited by Rudra Sen : 15th June 2006 at 12:41. |

| Hey, I took the following pics on my recent trip to a remote place in Himachal recently ( details to follow in travelogues ). the pics are taken from a similar angle but the difference was that one was taken in the evening and the next in the morning and I have no clue where the mist in the second pic came from as it ws a perfectly clear day ..lol !!! Rudra sir, maybe I'm turning into a pro as well ..hehe   This is the meadow in the same place ....  Let me know what you guys think !! Cheers |

| Senior - BHPian  | @ Edmund; nice one. framing should have been better. too much zoom ruins a pic ( see you have those telephone lines in teh alst pic, lights from houses in first pic). I think if you had got a bit more of teh house silhouette it would haev been better. Whers the guru now, when we need a comment  )p.s.: couldnt laod the second pix. link problem? |

About the Nainital pic - its a lot harder to make it look good since the original has a definite haziness due to the weather... cya R Last edited by Rehaan : 19th June 2006 at 13:48. | |
