I don't go back and re-edit photos very often, but this photo is one I've re-edited several times. I use it as an exercise in using the Photoshop tools, layer masks, and whatever's new in PS. It's a good exercise since the power lines require quite a bit of Photoshopping. The woman is from a different shot of the same scene. This is my latest effort. I started from scratch with the original .jpg (top) and produced the bottom version. This was shot back in 2008 in .jpg before I started shooting in RAW. Did I miss anything? https://tonycooper.smugmug.com/AUE-P...8-12-02-X3.jpg http://jonaseklundh.se/files/comp.jpg Part of lamppost to the left is still seen in the upper part of the building. Cloud removed from above building, but some form of "bloom" introduced to the right part that seem out of place Poster has been cloned, but not brightness-adjusted for the right part of the building that is recieving slightly less light Saturation has been unnaturally cranked up on the red sign parts to make them look almost fluorescent. The woman is casting no shadow. While it's true that she is standing in the shad ow, and the light is coming from the left, she is still clearly illuminated by direct sunlight. Either tone down her brightness or put her in a spot where she is in the sunlight and thus add a shadow. In fact, her lower feet is right on the edge of the building, meaning she would be standing pressed up flat to the ticket window (which it looks more like in your version). Other than that, it's nicely done. The power lines are gone, and a particularly good job on removing the car in the lower left corner, and slightly less good job in adding some added shrubbery to the right part, which looks a bit more "fake" -- Sandman |

I thought that was intentional, and in spite of the lamp post shadow still be ing in the stairs, it was at such an angle that it didn't bother me. Sandman: Cloud removed from above building, but some form of "bloom" introduced to the right part that seem out of place Whole new sky. That's a real cloud on the right. It was easier to take out the old sky and power lines than to content-aware cover the lines. Right Sandman: Poster has been cloned, but not brightness-adjusted for the right part of the building that is recieving slightly less light Saturation has been unnaturally cranked up on the red sign parts to make them look almost fluorescent. Yeah, but I wanted that look. That's how I imagined the color would have been in 1922 when the theater opened. My choice, but others may not like it. The only photograph of the theater in that era I could find is in black and white: http://www.athensdeland.com/About.html Indeed, and as you can see, not at all as saturated Sandman: The woman is casting no shadow. While it's true that she is standing in the shad ow, and the light is coming from the left, she is still clearly illuminated by direct sunlight. Either tone down her brightness or put her in a spot where she is in the sunlight and thus add a shadow. In fact, her lower feet is right on the edge of the building, meaning she would be standing pressed up flat to the ticket window (which it looks more like in your version). She was leaning into the window when I photographed her, so she was right up to the wall. I assumed she was from an entirely different scene altogether, not from the same spot. I actually didn't think this was a ticket window given the original image and you had put her there to make it seem like it was. Seeing the original image she is in, it seems clear you should have taken more of the surrounding structure that she leans against to make her blend in bet ter, and then brightness-adjust it as a whole. Say, for instance, the entire middle part between the doors. You already cut and pasted the reflection (and coned part of it twice) and I suggest that the entire ticket window from the girl-photo should have been pasted in to the original photo to make her appear more naturally blended with the wall. Sandman: Other than that, it's nicely done. The power lines are gone, and a particularly good job on removing the car in the lower left corner, and slightly less good job in adding some added shrubbery to the right part, which looks a bit more "fake" As I said, this started as an exercise in using the tools...just something to practice on. Indeed, and seems like it was good practice. -- Sandman |
