roguewave Posted September 25, 2009 Share #3 Â Posted September 25, 2009 Enrico, exciting content. You are obviously experimenting with PP. Care to share? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share #4 Â Posted September 25, 2009 Maurizio and Ben, Thank you for looking and commenting. Â Ben, PP is not exactly my cup of tea, but sometimes I'm aware it can "save" some pictures. Here I developed the picture il Lightroom just adjusting a little the exposure, contrast and some clarity and brilliance, than exported as a .psd and opened it in Photoshop where I did te real work. First I've played with saturation and colours in "Hue-Saturation" (Control-U, where you can play with red, yellow, blue, etc.) and adjusted colours in the picture so as some was slightly desaturated and other more saturated. Then i selected and copied the green channel (but one can choose another one) and copied it in a new level. Gave the "highpass" filter at about 20 pixels and changed the blending mode of the new layer to Overlay. Then set the opacity to 20-25%. This gives the picture more crispness. You can paly with both, blending and opacity to get different results. However, I think there is a limit beyond which it is no more a photo but became an illustration.

Guest flatfour Posted September 25, 2009 Share #5 Â Posted September 25, 2009 The Place du Tertre is a very photogenic place, but it is sometimes difficult to get a picture because there are so many people. Nice clours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted September 26, 2009 Share #6 Â Posted September 26, 2009 Enrico, Â A stunning shot with colors bigger than life. Great composition, clarity and depth. It is almost three-dimensional. Â Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurometallo Posted September 26, 2009 Share #7 Â Posted September 26, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I perfectly agree with Paul: The colors are magnificent, so is the composition and the light. Good work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhotoArchival Posted September 26, 2009 Share #9 Â Posted September 26, 2009 It looks busy..........................................................As it should be! You captured that well here without overkill. And yes, those colors are just so crisp and the photo has a nice clarity to it. Really nice work, Enrico.

Clook Posted September 26, 2009 Share #10 Â Posted September 26, 2009 Before I scrolled down and read about the PP work I thought 'wow, check out the colour and contrast, what lens was that?', the point being that It doesnt look like a lot of 'worked-on' shots do, you've applied the changes in a very subtle way and achieved a great end result. Nice DOF too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
