RE: PESO -- Old Friends
Just found this shot as I'm catching up on unread list mail. This shot is a gem. The opportunities to get a shots such as this are few and fleeting, and you've done well to grab this one. If this was my shot, my only regret would be that the walkers weren't advancing into the fade-out of the crossing's paint. Something along the lines of old soldiers just fading away. It's still a top shot, nonetheless. Regards, Anthony Farr -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of P. J.

Re: PESO -- Old Friends
Well, your wish is my command, occasionally anyway. It does need a bit more snap, but even a little more contrast was too much no matter how much I played around with it. However a bit more micro contrast seems to have worked wonders. Anyone who hasn't heard about adjusting micro contrast wondering what I'm talking about should try it out. I've read about it in a couple of tutorials. It uses the Photoshop USM tool, set to 20% 50 pixels, 0 threshold. Sometimes these settings do exactly what you want, sometimes you have to play with them a bit. If anyone wants to see the difference just click on the picture. Doing that will cycle between the original and the new version. http://www.mindspring.com/~distilfink/PESO%20--%20oldfriendsii.html Doug Brewer wrote: Jack Davis wrote: Terrific, Peter!

Peter, I know you didn't do this for me, but my reaction is that I like the original version slightly better due to it's lighter mood. Jack --- On Tue, 7/1/08, P. J.
