Title: Antelope Island Revisited
Post by: David Eckels on April 16, 2018, 12:54:46 pm: Shot in 2009 with a Nikon D5000 and re-processed yesterday using some new things I've learned recently from the Charlie Kramer video series and Tony Kuyper's luminosity masking scripts.

Post by: Jeremy Roussak on April 17, 2018, 03:28:21 am: That's a lovely scene. My only criticism is that you appear to have tried to lighten the bird in the foreground to the left, which has left an oval halo around it that is quite distracting.

Post by: David Eckels on April 17, 2018, 09:56:42 am: Jeremy, you're right and it is more easily seen in the squashed jpeg/sharpening algorithm I use. I missed it, but will try Slobodan's trick of applying negative clarity to see if I can eliminate it. BTW, I wasn't trying to lighten it, I was trying to keep it from being softened by the noise reduction filter I used on the water.

MODIFICATION: Yes, the Blagojevic effect works! Minus 100 clarity with the adjustment brush tool, but it took two of them.

The second in this series of two. The same beach, just a little further down the road, wider angle.
