Comment | This my third effort at this shot. My previous effort was ID 27694. Glenn Pure provided the following recommendations to improve the shot. 1. Reprocessed the RAW file to apply less shadow lightening and highlight reduction and moved the white point to the left. Also set WB to 'Cloudy' and fine tuned colour with sliders. 2. Exported 16 bit tiff to PSE. 3. Selected the white areas on the front and crown of the bird. Added a bit of feathering (maybe 10 pixels) and lightened these areas with 'Adjust Lighting: Brightness and contrast'. 4. Selected whole bird and used 'Adjust Lighting: Shadows and Highlights' to lighten shadows and add midtone contrast. 5. Selected lower right area, applied about 20 pixels feathering and darkened highlights 6. Selected area to mid left edge with the funny looking branches, added about 25 pixels feathering and added about 30 pixels of Gaussian blur to remove the detail there. 7. Applied Neat Image NR to bird plus a bit of sharpening in Neat Image 8. Applied stronger NR to inverse. 9. Converted to 8 bits/sRGB, downsized, sharpened bird only (Sharpness: Remove Gaussian Blur function; 0.4 pixels at 50%). | ||||||||||||||||||
