[QUOTE="mikeh32217, post: 194207, member: 7081"] OK I'm going to get an early start on tomorrows today and post one that is new to me. I've always wanted to try the clarity set in a minus direction but never had a photo that it looked good with but I think it works here. It was very bright at the beach so a lot of my pictures didn't turn out the way I wanted. Just got a CPL and still learning to use it! Ok as requested what I did; (original on left) [B]Lightroom[/B] 1) Adjusted the WB 2) Adjusted the White and Blacks 3) Kicked contrast up and set clarity all the way left 4) I believe I dropped exposure just a tad [B] PhotoShop [/B]1) Made a copy (Ctrl J) 2) Set the Layer type to Soft Light 3) Create a blank layer and set Layer Type to Soft Light 4) Did a bit of shading to give a little better effect (Burn and Dodge) [ATTACH=CONFIG]50964._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]50965._xfImport[/ATTACH] Overall I like the eerie effect and I think it worked pretty good with this photo.
