PAW: Alien Invaders Revisited

[Paul Stenquist]

Thanks to all who mentioned the banding in the background of this pic. 
I went back to the RAW file and reworked it with a moderate amount of 
saturation and contrast increase. However, I altered the temperature 
and tint to make it more pleasing. It's  probably closer to what I saw 
at the time I took the shot.  It was only a small change on the slider, 
but the result is quite different. I did the original conversion almost 
a year ago. This rework made me realize how much I've learned about the 
PS CS converter in the time since.BTW I just finished a great book 
"Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS by Bruce Fraser." A great read for 
anyone who is trying to upgrade digital darkroom skills.
