Before and After - The Weekly Editing Challenge
...now compiled into a single, easy to locate thread, that can be added to your subscribe/follow list!
I have gone back to 2013 for the images this week. The shots were taken in hazy sunshine, perfect for portraits but not for landscapes IMO. You will have to deal with a paucity of pixels, and indifferent resolution at infinity. (The lens design on Canon Powershots gives it's best resolution at a distance of 2-200m). So show me how to get the best out of these 2 images sets taken at Drummond Castle just 10 miles from where I live. The castle comprises a tower house built in the late 15th century, and a 17th-century mansion, both of which were rebuilt in Victorian times. The famous gardens were established in the 1630s.
P.S. Maybe someone will demonstrate how Adobe's new Super Resolution with deal with10Mpix images. I suspect that, as Kirk says in another thread, "You will just get a larger, smeary version of your original" if the original lacks the resolution .
The pCloud download link is here
.Rules are simple:
Download the image file from the current week
Contestants will have 7 days to edit the image and post their edited version to the thread (as many entries as you like)
The owner of the original image will choose a winner
The winner will copy & paste this post and include a new downloadable image link
The new image must be unedited / SOOC (straight our of camera), full-resolution, and in a RAW format, ie. CR2, DNG, TIF, etc
(Dropbox works well for uploading and linking these large files)
The purpose of this game is to be creative and learn new editing techniques. You must give some insight into exactly how you went about editing the image. For example, increased shadows sliders, reduced highlights, local sharpening, white balance adjustment, specific filters used, tone curve adjustments, etc. Comments and/or questions regarding the edits are encouraged.
