Re: Boris PESO #03 - Grocery store and a new lens
Not so non-trivial and laborious, Boris. Here's my layer stack, from the bottom: copy of the original with 30px gaussian blur; curves adjustment to brighten that; the original, blending mode set to Soft Light; copy of the original High-Pass'ed at 1px, blending mode set to overlay. I think the result works very well. I might even make a Ps action out of it. :-) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2254722/PDML/BMW_7676-Edit-flattened.jpg On Sun, Jan 26, 2014 at 11:39 PM, Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com wrote: Bulent, I am very much no expert in photoshop.

Thanks, Frank. You're being very kind. The great thing here is that as far as rendering goes, 99% was done in run-time and not in post.

Beautiful, Boris. Other than the bright red product placement, this could be a postcard or Christmas card. I really like it!

Interesting effect. All nice, but I think the one with the young lady could be very very nice if only the person to her right was not there to create a bit of clutter.

Re: Boris PESO #03 - Grocery store and a new lens
Thanks, Bruce. You see, at 38mm of focal length is not portrait lens per se. However given the crop it turns to something like 58mm as far as angle of view goes and that's not bad. I made some group portraits of my girls and I quite liked the result. I used to have F 85/2.8 soft which was obviously more mature, but it was heavy and on the cropped sensor it was too narrow AOV... While the likes of 50-60mm of EFL seem to be my sweet spot... Boris On 1/25/2014 10:25 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: Beautiful, Boris.

Re: Boris PESO #03 - Grocery store and a new lens
Thanks, Stan. I never think of my photography as of source of profit. May be I could make a big print and give it to the grocery shop owners :-). I will be able to take you just there as it sits in rather special location as far as tourist attractions in Tel Aviv go. You will judge for yourself. I reckon I will be taking this lens with us when you come :-). On 1/25/2014 11:10 PM, Stanley Halpin wrote: Interesting effect.
