Re: PESO: Mimosa Sunset
Thank you, Rick. I've wanted to learn the art of using bokeh well for a while now.

Re: PESO: Mimosa Sunset
Thanks, Bob! I was actually a little distracted by those highlights myself. I'm pretty ham-fisted when it comes to tweaking specific areas of images, unfortunately. In fact, I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to most of the functions of Photoshop and other similar software. Here's my attempt at toning down those highlights: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/6045587075/ I think the idea is much better than my execution would suggest. Thanks for the input, in any event. I'll keep tweaking it until I get a better blending of the colors. -- Walt On 8/15/2011 9:57 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Walt, Very pretty.

After I wrote and sent my comment, I remember doing the same thing when it comes to spotting things that normally are not obvious. Especially after I have gotten back into taking captures. It also helps that while out on my nature walks I am always trying to keep an eye out and trained on areas of the woods that are different colors or shadows that are moving about and the different sounds around me. ___ You can see my latest captures by visiting my Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jt-johnson/ -Original Message- From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Walt Gilbert Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 6:50 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: PESO: Mimosa Sunset On 8/15/2011 6:25 PM, Jeffery Johnson wrote: > Nice capture and amazed you spotted it that far...

Re: PESO: Mimosa Sunset
Walt, as I have shots with the same issue and I wanted to see how hard it is to fix, I took the liberty of attempting to tweak your pic. Here's my quick and dirty result: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2254722/mimosa-walt.jpg It's a bit over smudged. If I took a bit more care (and was a better artist!) it'd be more convincing. But it's enough to prove it's not too hard to do. Here's what I did in Ps (CS5): - create new blank layer - choose a soft Brush (0% hardness), opacity 100%, flow 10% - Option-click (Alt-click) over a nearby bokeh colour (to set the painting colour) - lightly paint arcs and circles over the offending white area - rechoose the painting colour (Option/Alt-click) frequently to get varied texture I also did a little cloning with the clone brush set similarly (with Sample all Layers set), just to get a bit better texture. I ran a Gaussian blur pass over the painted and cloned layer to smooth my fixes out a bit, and reduced the opacity of the layer a smidge (90% or so) to get a nicer blend. -bmw On 11-08-16 2:11 AM, Walt Gilbert wrote: Thanks, Ken.

Re: PESO: Mimosa Sunset
Thanks for the hints, Bruce! I've marked this email for future reference. I took another whack at it last night using Picasa's "Retouch" function. It was a little tedious, and the results were less than stellar, but I do think it was a bit of an improvement. Here's the attempt: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/6050069620/ I think the area looks muddy compared to the surrounding bokeh, but at least the highlight is knocked down a little. I'm sure it would've come out better using Photoshop, but Picasa offers simplicity at the expense of meticulousness. Thanks again for the input. I've really got to learn to use more of Photoshop's functionality and this will help. -- Walt On 8/16/2011 7:34 AM, Bruce Walker wrote: Walt, as I have shots with the same issue and I wanted to see how hard it is to fix, I took the liberty of attempting to tweak your pic.

Re: PESO: Mimosa Sunset
Thanks, Tim! Unfortunately, all the blossoms are off that tree now. It really is a great one to have for a photographer, since it attracts LOTS of butterflies.
