Hi Paul since I will go on all the tours my friend at www.bestofswitzerlandtours.ch is offering for tourists in the next weeks, I will have a lot of "postcard" like photos to show here soon and may even lead you into temptation to come and visit Switzerland ;-)
Appenzell is lovely, just now they start planting flowers everywhere and put "Geranium" everywhere on the balcony of the houses too, that red is a bit missing on some of the house shots now. Honestly I do sometimes find all this painting and polishing in such places a bit kitschy. I prefer the pure overwhelming mountains and I really loved the old cog wheel on Mt. Pilatus (pictures will follow). But I do not have a great choice here, I have to make the shots in a certain pleasing way... Now if anybody of the pro's here could show me how to improve shadows and highlights on the scans by taking one of my "postcards" and adjust it and tell me what I have to do in Photoshop CS. (as Herb mentioned) If there would be even a general rule so I could record an action and batch process the scans I would be very happy or am I just dreaming and hard work on every picture is the way to go? thanks and have a nice weekend Paul greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Paul Stenquist [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 1:01 PM >>To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net >>Subject: Re: PESO:Swiss postcard series - Appenzell >> >> >>Beautiful town.
