I have a pic taken at a park and I would like to brighten just the stone walls on each side of the road. What tool (either PS or LR) would be the best to accomplish this? Thanks; Paul
Moab, the picture is in this thread http://nikonites.com/post-processing/33759-letchworth-state-park.html#axzz45RBGZTDZ
I am still working on this photo and still believe I can make it a great shot. Paul
Moab, just loked at the price of the Wacom tablet- don't have the money!! Paul
You don't need it! Just watch some videos on using the adjustment brush. This is really a simple thing to learn.
Pardon me for jumping in but... Is this close to what you're trying to achieve?I have used the adj brushes but didn't like the results- maybe just more practice? Paul
Well it's an easy thing to ADD clarity, contrast, sharpness and too punch up the color a bit if that's what you want. Your original post just said "lighten"...Fish, I like it but was looking for more clarity with the stone walls, I think you ran into the same thing I did with the brush as nothing is well defined and no real colorshas been added to the photo. Maybe that's the best we can do , given the Fstop setting and very slow shutter speed. Thanks Fish- Paul
Well I think most anyone here, myself included, would be happy to help you flatten the learning curve but I guess I'm not understanding exactly where you want to go with this shot; and if you don't have a clear idea of what you want to do, of where you want to go... Then it's all the more difficult to get there.I guess I'm just not that advanced quite yet ( to do those things) . Just looked at your Flickr photos for the second time and know you are. I'll keep working at and maybe I'll be able to take and process pictures like yours and many other Nikonites who frequent the forum. I just love the learning process and find it very therapeutic for myself. Thanks, Paul
Okay! Well... There ya go.I was looking for something more like this-more punch, more color!! I did this this morning and may just settle on itView attachment 206948
