Re: OT PESO - Empty Subway

There's an article about enhancing micro contrast on the web. I can't find the link but a google search of Micro Contrast Photoshop Unsharp Mask or similar will get you a pointer. The gist of it is, that you enhance micro contrast by using these settings in USM, Amount=20%, Radius=50 pixels, t

Re: PESO - Need Work

Look, there are real homeless people, I know that. However I've seen the local "work for food" crowd and know most of them. They are professionals. If you give them money, they're fine with that. If you actually offer them work, be prepaired for words you couldn't repeat in polite company.
