these are my editing steps ...
opened jpeg ...
cloned out tree ..
skewed image a tiny bit ...
levels adjustment layer to make image more contrasy and lighter ..
hue/sat adj layer and increased the saturation in the red, yellow, cyan and blue ..
hue/sat adj layer overlay opacity 13%
duplicated layer and used a new plug i got today called mezzoforce ice that you can get for free @ //thepluginsite.com/resources/freeps.htm#imageeffects .. you can get a whole heap of other plugs there ... i went there for a sort of white vignette but CS2 didnt like it, so i ended up getting other stuff ... anyway, i made the mezzoforce layer a screen at 47% which lightened the image even more again ...
deleted around edges of new mezzoforce layer 4 a darker vignette sort of look ...
cropped ..
resized ..
noise ninja and deleted it from various areas like in the distance & gate/fences etc ...
smart sharpen .. then i selectively sharpened more ..
did kubota sloppy border and saved for web ...
i've found with the kubota sloppy border that it slightly crops the image, so you've gotta edit/rescale the border/layer ..
I like the foggy appearance in this. It looks like there was some fog in the original, but it is enhanced in the edited. Is that the new plug-in? Just curious.
Nice one Roz, I think you are on a roll, as you are taking some magic images lately.....
This is so Australian, and so dam good.....very colonial.....
I just love the Aussie light, and the Aussie gum trees.....
This is beautiful. I noticed that lately you are also shooting at what appears to be "low" exposure in order to keep the highlights. Excellent processing. It gives this image the lost forest look.
