Advertisement Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Hi bradreiman, Take a look here portrait NZ (m8). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lambroving Posted February 10, 2007 Share #2 Posted February 10, 2007 Nice catch! Are you on a Mac? On a PC it looks flat, almost like it needs "Auto Levels" in PS or something. Maybe DD can come to the rescue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradreiman Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted February 10, 2007 yeah on a mac. looks pretty punchy here. maybe my monitor is too bright or something. thanks...b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted February 10, 2007 Share #4 Posted February 10, 2007 Sent DD a PM. Hope he visits. He can make a version which will allow us to appreciate this scene. It's his "day job". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 10, 2007 Share #5 Posted February 10, 2007 The histogram on the original covers 0-255, so it's not a levels issue. The one below has just had auto-color done. Is this one any better, PC users? Dramatic shot, made by the figure, of course. [attach]25140[/attach] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted February 10, 2007 Share #7 Posted February 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Brad - Lovely, dramtic, great shapes, light and color. Glad there is a distant person to setablish scale. Andy's help helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 10, 2007 Share #8 Posted February 10, 2007 Thank you Stuart. Here's a version where I spent more than 30 seconds on it. Since none of us (except Brad) were there, so cannot know what colour the sand is, it will be interesting to see what he thinks [ATTACH]25170[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted February 10, 2007 Share #9 Posted February 10, 2007 Thank you Stuart. Normally I'd consider that a rude remark, particularly coming from a mod. but in this case I'll just consider the source, also handicapped by using an OS used by less than 2% of the universe. If your comment didn't kill any desire for DD to assist, maybe he'll open your eyes. His PC monitor, calibrated for offset, is quite close to mine.

stuny Posted February 10, 2007 Share #13 Posted February 10, 2007 Brad - Also excellent, and also feels it needs to be punched up just a bit. Perhaps I'll have a chance to mess with it tomorrow morning. Can't now -- I'm at a nail salon awaiting Barbara, then off to dinner and a show.

Cyrshot Posted February 11, 2007 Share #14 Posted February 11, 2007 Brad, I like the second version of image 1, and I have a pc. Image 2 is great as well, makes you feel how vast the landscape is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_drabek Posted March 27, 2007 Share #15 Posted March 27, 2007 Sorry to come so late to the party. I just found William's note. The problem with adjusting color on the web is that the appearance will always be different for PC's and Macs. You can calibrate your monitor and if I email you a file, it should look very close on both machines, but viewing images on the web brings it's own set of limitations, and a PC will nearly always display an image darker than will a Mac when viewed in a web browser. The best one can do is try for a happy compromise between platforms. Below is about where I would set up the image. It will probably look a tad light on a Mac and a tad dark on a PC, but should be acceptable on both. I also fiddled with the curves a bit to give it a little more snap. I have no idea how accurate the color is to the original scene, not having been there. Hope this helps. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
