Hey I am looking to give a picture to a family member for Christmas but I am lacking in photoshop skill. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to edit this photo and touch it up a bit for me, greatly appreciate it if someone is willing to do it. The picture: The file in RAW: http://www.fileshost.com/en/file/75397/IMG-2437-CR2.html Thank you. -aaron
http://www.fileshost.com/en/file/75556/IMG-2437-3-tif.html You dont say exactly how you want it edited. Do you want it cropped? I've adjusted levels and curves to give it more punch, and I've also used some sharpening techniques on it, but to be honest, it's not a good photograph. It's really, really unsharp because of motion blur. You shot it at 1/80th, and judging by the motion blur, probably without a tripod. Such blur can not really be removed.
Unfortunately I did not use a tripod and I used a slower speed to try and get the light the way I wanted. Thank you very much for editing it, I am slowly learning photoshop and all of it's quirks but I wanted to get this photo done by someone who is familiar with it so as to do a better job, guess I should have taken a better picture -aaron
I am very sorry, I posted the wrong picture.... How stupid of myself. When you said it was shot at 1/80th I was confused because I don't like to shoot that low, and when I reviewed your edit I understood the mistake I had made (I meant to post 2473 not 2437....), there is the picture I had meant to post; http://img357.imageshack.us/my.php?image=treeskg1.jpg And here is the new file http://rapidshare.com/files/175357416/IMG_2473.CR2.html I was trying to get the sun flare through the trees but there is a small spot in the foreground that I don't know how to get rid of. I will crop the picture after and I do know how to adjust light levels, so if anyone would mind toughing other things up I would appreciate it. And again I don't normally do this but I want it to be the best it can, and CC warmly welcomed. -aaron
No problem.. will get on that later and edit this post with a link [edit] Now that's a MUCH better shot on first impressions Will post back up in a little while [edit] Same as before.. no idea if you wanted it cropped, so just cleaned it up.. slight sharpening, and rescued some of the shadow detail. Also removed the nasty red lens flare at the bottom of the image. http://www.fileshost.com/en/file/75960/IMG-2473a-CR2.html -
