CS2 course results...
#1

Hi all,

I've not been around for a while....life has been busy....

Irma inquired about the CS2 course I did earlier this year....I'd not used PS before doing the course, so it was a lot to take in....

Before

After - healing brush, levels, USM on stamen, resize, high pass

After - selected sky, levels, then inverse and applied levels to building, USM

After - this one took a while, cloned out ties, cropped, levels, shadow/highlights, clone & healing brush on petals, slight yellow & magenta hue adustment, can't remember if I used USM or high pass...

Hi Sharon,

Looks like you have learnt a lot in youir course. It really is an amazing difference when you understand a little of the power of photoshop.

I particularly liked the 2nd and 4th images.

Canon stuff.

Oh! Sharon... Your pictures are great!! Smile

I like a lot the way you show them with the before and after so one can see the difference... What I like the most is that they look very natural. It is amazing always to see that taking care of little details like cleaning the petals, improve a lot your picture.

I have seen in your pictures that you use a lot the USM. I don't normally use it, but I see that it makes a difference. I'll try to play with this filter.

#2 is great!! I like the color you got after post processing, and your composition is beautiful... Smile

I like also the effect of the shadow/highlight in the last picture. It improved a lot. It looks like a beautiful place.

Thanks so much for sharing your pictures, Sharon; and Congratulations! Smile

Thanks for the encouragement everyone, I still have a lot to learn....but I'm getting my head around the basics.

The instructor said that if it takes longer than 5 minutes to process in PS, go out and take another photo ....she is big on getting it right in camera as much as possible.

Thanks again
