And what do you think of this one? A bit under exposed maybe?

I made a few changes to lighten and sharpen it up a bit. Thoughts?

Very nice. I like the 2nd best.

2nd is definitely appears sharper and appears to have greater detail. Big Grin

Hi Jericho,

WOW that looks 10 times better!
Would you care to share how you did that so I can learn that stuff too? Smile


Busy Bee - jericho - Mar 18, 2005

Sure thing. However, I am stepping out for a short time. I will send a reply tomorrow.

Cheers Jacco.

Jerry.

That would be great Jerry, thanks !

I have been trying in the meantime... getting better but can't get a picture as sharp as yours yet.

First I slightly changed brightness/contrast (using photoshop CS):

Then I used unsharp mask:

I have not bothered blurring the background which you seem to have done with good result. I assume you had to manually select (or deselect) the object?
