Hey Larry, Thanks for letting me breathe new life into this fine image...thought I'd share it with the gang  Taken from a SD 1400 IS pocket camera...it shows one can do wonders with it  Before  After  | ||

Amazing difference in the fine details! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Roland: You've done it again! Fantastic!  That's what he did with two of my photos from my Bubye hunt last month. (They're posted at the tail end of my hunt post.) | |||

Thanks all... IMHO this TROPHY SHOT had all the makings of a strong, bold image and just wanted to bring forth what I personally saw. I'm very happy with what I was able to achieve as I tried to gently massage all the data I could out of the small original image file that Larry posted. | |||

Thanks gang! Its amazing to see what can be done from a pic that was taken with a Pocket Camera...also, what can be done with the original small image file that was originally posted. | |||

LB: Could you enlighten us on how you did this? It was amazing. | |||
|
One of Us |
Oh yeah! Have you considered that if you did that, the buff could also go back in time? | |||

Sure I don't mind sharing I use PS CS4 but one can accomplish much of this with almost any digital-enhancement software or any version of PS including Elements. Here's an easy, simple, BASIC WORKFLOW... #1- Shadow/Highlight Adjustment as desired #2- Brightness/Contrast Adjustment as desired #3- Saturation Adjustment as desired After, steps #1-#3... Create a NEW DUPLICATE LAYER and a LAYER MASK to "isolate" subject. Apply Noise-Reduction and/or Gaussian Blur to this Background Layer as desired. Now, go back to the layer below it where you did steps #1-#3 and Sharpen that layer. [Sharpening now will only take place on the SUBJECT not the BG because of the Layer Mask] When done flatten/merge the image and you are done. | |||

L-B, what was the inch spread on that buff? Magnificent beast and a wonderful image. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||
