Would be interesting to see the aesthetic result after what sounds like a prodigious amount of effort.Andy Ilachinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14572501787099507666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-80713694015889933562011-07-17T22:32:43.239-06:002011-07-17T22:32:43.239-06:00There was a selective colour, a couple of hue satu...There was a selective colour, a couple of hue saturations, about 15 curves layers, some duplicate image layers where I used the dodge highlights tool, I then desaturated the colour somewhat, added a bit of colour to one corner, increased canvas size on the bottom and added the corner of the one piece of steel. <br /><br />There wasn't a sheet of steel in the image that didn't receive some adjustment, lightening or darkening, increasing contrast or accenting highlights. I even used a version of my black and white toning to warm the upper right corner, using fill layer with single colour, adjust blend to colour, then mask and fade colour in a small part of the image.<br /><br />I used content aware fill to add to the bottom of the image, but it created as many problems as it fixed and I redid it manually.<br /><br />It's a gradual process - make some changes then sit back and look at the image, then some more, and so on, occasionally saving a version just in case I need to go backwards more than 20 steps but without starting all over again.<br /><br />GeorgeGeorge Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06745541057122821349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-73132013301897193242011-07-17T22:08:17.812-06:002011-07-17T22:08:17.812-06:00You surely have the patience to add so many adjust...You surely have the patience to add so many adjustment layers :)<br />I get into a fatigue after the first 3 layers!TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018919311091160354noreply@blogger.com
