Before & After #311. This game is to help those of us who are trying to learn new editing tricks.

Here's the breakdown of the game. I will post a picture, re-sized to exactly 1024 pixels maximum on the long side. Outside of being re-sized it has to be unedited...meaning no adjustments to any levels, it has to look like it did as it came out of the camera.

The game will last 72hrs and whoever can produce the best edited image (as judged by me) will be picked and it'll be their turn to post their unedited picture for all of us to take a crack at. Contest will end

Monday Sept 6th at 19:00 PM BST

The participants must have their "Image Editing OK" turned on and they must provide at least a simple breakdown of how they edited the image, some entrants are a little vague on this point, please give us all details so we can learn and share tips. For instance if you use the unsharp mask tool or Smart Sharpen, provide us with the adjustments you used so others can try them out.

You can post multiple images, but the first image you post will be the one that is judged - all other images will be considered for knowledge and tip use only.

Also, please keep all comments, be they positive or negative, to yourself until after the game has ended.

If you happen to be the winner of the game please start the next one with the title of the game and the following number. For example…the next game should read "Before & After #312".

Please remember to re-size your entry to 1024 pixels on the long side...

I think I drove this road a couple of years ago - it's North Yorkshire for sure - near Richmond ?

Straightened vertical lines.
Piecewise cloned out all the signs, posts, cables.
Small Highlights adjust.
Unsharp mask in two passes (6,66,0 then 50,0.5,0)

Lore - nice interpretation with the T & S.

Sean - done the way I did it - I was really looking for a "clearing of the clutter" here and you did a great job. Over to you!

Thanks Nigel - it's been a while since I've played B&A. Where did all the players go ?

I'll have a new one up in a short while.

Yes - its a bit sparsely populated on this thread nowadays. By the way, it was North Yorkshire, in Reeth village looking from the green.

Well done Lore.

After looking at Sparkin's shot, I tried to do a similar edit and then B&W it. Try as I am might I could not acheive the same cloning effort. You did a superb cloning job.
