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

That looks great! What software did you use to enhance the image?

Amazing difference in the fine details!

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.)

PhotoShop CS4

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.

Can you make me grow more hair and muscles as well as less fat? Lol.

Amazing difference!

That is just amazing!!! What a difference.

Larry, you are the man.

Good work L-B.

Pity you couldn't cut out the ass-end and replace the missing part of the horn

Great cape buffalo. Older and meaner than mine.

Super buff!

Excellent buffalo trophy and a mighty fine photo enhancement too!

Yeah, on Larry!

Roland,

Wow! That is a remarkable improvement. When you figure out how to give Larry more hair I'm interested also.

Mark

Thanks

Roland, again an amazing job with a pic. The details are so much more detailed. Wow! top notch.

Great buffalo and photo! Congrats!

You have talent LB!

It is nice to know that it is possible to rescue a less than ideal field photo.

Awesome buff too!

Excellent!

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.

Oh yeah! Have you considered that if you did that, the buff could also go back in time?

Roland: Fantastic photo work!

Larry: Fantastic Buff!

Best regards, D. Nelson

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,

You're an artist!

Larry Shores,

You're a hunter of a FINE buff !!!

L-B, what was the inch spread on that buff? Magnificent beast and a wonderful image.

Bill:

Just a hair over 44.
