    Antonio-

    What city was this? On the first shot I'd kick up the saturation a bit and burn in the road, the hot spot on the cycle and the glass cabinets.

    On the second, I'd burn in the road, the buildings in the background and a very slight darkening of the cycles and the red bundle. Remember that the eye is attracted to white (bright areas) ... so if you have a bright area in the photo that isn't the center of interest ... the eye will focus on that spot. So darkening areas that are not the center of interest is a good thing, but the darkening needs to be blended into the photo so it looks natural.

    Hello Gary,
    I am posting these photos because of the exposition I talked about.
    They are old and have been photoshoped before, say 2 years ago, just after they were shot.
    Then I was a lurk in photoshop - I still am but a milimeter less - and I did what I knew.
    I wouldn't like to treat them again as quality goes down and down ...
    They are more like a registry than anything else. A testimonial. Is this right ? Testimony.
    They are over now.
    May be I do have more but, now, I don't know where they are... :):
    They were in my former site with the same name not in SmugMug and they had 120 K. Very small for quality.
    I rather bet on those I take now with the new equipment.

    I do not know which city it is. One of my difficulties - among many - is to make the corresponding shot to the place. We have been in so many places that after, we don't remember the names.
    I am lazy enought not to go and see in the travel program...
    Once I thought to buy a GPS connected to the camera: one more stuff to carry and we can't connect it directly to our Canons. Nikon can, not canon.
    So, registries GPS from one side and photos from the other: mess, computer programs to make the correspondence, etc., etc.. Oh no. No...

    I invite you to go to

    and see.
    One have to be very carefull using the Hightlight / Shadow command !!!
    I don't like to use it. It gives a white halo ...eek7.gif

    Saúde e obrigado.

    You can also use the "Brush" tool. It will deliver color/darkness to just the area required without a halo (which happens with the lasso).

    You can adjust the size of the brush, the concentration (opacity) of the application (for burning start around 5% and burn in repeatedly to desired darkness). In this case use the "Color Burn" mode.

    Gary: You are a friendly guy. I knew it already but ... :):
    Indeed the Brush tool is very good and easy to work with.
    Obrigado.
    I've been reading Dan' book about LAB mode but it is very un-digestif !...
    I made some improvements but still a long way to run...

    Are you OK ?
    Hope so. thumb.gif
