Sleeping Bird Reduction This photo was "made" by not cutting out the bird from the background, but by playing with the levels and curves to basically white out the neutral gray background. The bird was inside of a sun shaded tent sitting on a small tree. Since the background was of an even shade of gray, the adjustment functions were used to remove the background and bring the bird into attention. What do you guys think?
