this was taken with iso 1600 coz i was shooting for image grain ..
when i went to process this i was going to do something very simple so i used the jpeg to work from ...
as soon as i got it in photoshop i realised that i'd like it scaled and the proportions changed a bit ... so i increased the height 35% ...
thought b&w might suit this image so used channel mixer adjustment layer/monochrome and increased the red to 154% and decreased the green to -42% ..
did levels adjustment layer and darkened ...
did brightness and contrast adj layer .. and selectively erased everything except the grass and sleepers ....
did the kubota sloppy border which i got after christian's xianart comments ... just love that border ... and i'm wondering if it would be ok for basic edit????? ... also i'd like to go back and put those borders on just about all my stuff if i had the time ...
anyway i scaled the border into the image more and then warped it a bit to clinch in the sides.
resized .. and did kodak airbrush and noise ninja which i merged after making one of them more opaque .. and then deleted the grass so it wasnt affected by the kodak airbrush and noise ninja ... saved for web ..
