Apologies everyone. My grandmother took not well at the weekend there and just being trying to arrange stuff re her house too. Trying to juggle that and work. Enough excuses.
Again really sorry folks. Not a good start for me!

All great edits. Hope you had a little bit of fun editing. If its stil up there and fwiw id like to chose your first edit Dago. The removal of the harness makes a big difference. (i keep meaning to take it off when im out with him and the camera) So i loved that and just the general pp. I quite liked the contrasty, harsh almost comic book style of it. Kept me looking.

Douglas mate, you almost took the crown with your 'shop of the other dogs in the water. Nice, really liked it. Paints a picture i wish could be true lol.

Again, sorry. Hope i haven't messed things up here too much.

Oh, I'm so sorry about your grandmother. Hopefully she will be okay. I hope when I'm eventually a grandmother my grandchildren will be as thoughtful as you. You haven't messed anything up here.

Congratulations DagoImaging!

thanks TnT. I hope all things straighten out and your Gma is doing ok.

I'll dig something up for the crew to work on.

It seems like many liked the HDR option I provided last time, so lets do it again.

So sorry to hear about your grandmother; I hope she will get better soon

Dago, congratulations on your edit!

A quickie cropper..

Merged with SNS-HDR Pro2, then playing with Anthropics Landscape Pro and Topaz Impression.

Looks like it just came off my easel!

Merged with Aurora HDR Pro. Tone mapping with Aurora HDR pro. Lots of edits in Photoshop (halo removal, feature removal, and cropping):

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Very much appreciated

^ Excellent shot Dago

I did this edit for Mark, so he can see this film simulation. This probably isn't the best image to use this simulation on, as it is already heavily edited. It won't have the same qualities as a photograph actually shot on this film. Maybe I should try it with my selfie to see what happens.

This is my colour edit run through Alien Exposure X. Kodak Tri-X 400 simulation, with 100% Tri-X salt & pepper grain.

You can apply film types to NIK Silver Efex as well that gives you greater control of the amount.

The low contrast makes it hard to compare to the actual film, but the grain is kind of awesome. Alien Skin Exposure X will create the grain at 25%, 50%, or the 100% that I've used.

Congrats Dago, gorgeous lighthouse looking forward to editing it.

Thanks for the demo of Alien Exposure's B&W simulation. You're right, the grain is much better than the ones I've tried. I may have to give it a try.

First attempt.
