Nice Photos.

Loch Lomond a few weeks ago

..nice in monochrome too?

Big Howard,

I adjusted input levels in "levels". The mid gets the most adjustment. Once the levels are adjusted you will need to adjust saturation. I increased contrast very slightly. I also added a small amount of 81 warming filter in "Photo filter".

These are all available in the full Photoshop CS3,CS2,8,7,6, etc...

Do you line-up your monitor before you make the adjustments count?

Is there some sort of halfway house between the automatic Photobucket and the PS type programmes,some thing for a tyro/amateur?

Photoshop Elements or Paintshop Pro are popular at, I think, £60 to £80 a pop. Or of course there are a few freeware apps available, for example http://www.gimp.org/. Never tried any of the above, BTW.

Thanks.

Some usefull help on monitor calibration, this should be done after the computer/monitor have been on for at least 20mins.

For those that like penguins:

I took this tonight in the field opposite the hoose as the farmer finally got a serviceable combine AND the weather at the same time:



Hand held, f2.8, ISO 3200.

I use Aperture for Mac. I like it OK, but it is a bit limited in some areas. For example it doesn't use layers. On the plus-side the editing and adjustment are totally reversible as the original image remains unaltered - it just saves the metadata that defines your adjustment decisions.

I used to use Paintshop Pro and really liked it. I plan to do a trial of Photoshop.

555, I've adjusted my monitor, but I don't do it on a regular basis.

BigH, I've no idea about other softwares, as I've never used any.

Host your pics' on a website (like photobucket), & use the display image function.

Yesterday morning.

The second best display yesterday at Duxford was by this gorgeous P51D:

Just a pile of rubbish.

As I am sure you know, that pic is a big fat fake! Pretty funny though. The pic came with the caption right? Nonetheless that is not SA but my very own SF , just outside the bay with the golden gate bridge in the background, and the shark is photoshopped in. As for the British Navy, and Nt'l Geographic, not either. The military do ditch and recovery excercises like this all the time in and around the bay. And not that there arent any sharks, including big whitey, I just happen to know that this aint one of them. If you look closely in at the pixels you can see the superimposition. Thanks for sharing though!! Hope you are well. Next time you come I will show you some sharks! We had our beach closed for the Labor Day week due to a sighting!!
