The light guy gave me a tough time in this last set. The colors where pointing in all different directions, so I had to play a lot with them to get acceptable results. I saw no choice except going for an "artistic" look. If you can't beat the light man, join him ;-) The first picture is what really gave me a challenge. I loved the pose, but he isn't 100% sharp, and the background nearly killed the shot. I ended up focusing on the guy by turning down the green in the background. So the background is now close to B&W. I think I also desaturated the whole scene a bit, but I'm not sure about that. I added some grain artifacts by using aggressive sharpening in all of them. It's rock'n roll dude ;-) MaritimTim =============== Nice series. I like the last shot, the crowd shot, the best. Just because it's unusual. Marnie aka Doe :-) Wonder if they knew how funny they looked? --------------------------------------------- We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
