I thought you wanted a challenge? ![]() I have a similar shot a few minutes later taken on a Canon if you want to compare? https://www.dropbox.com/s/kruf246sze...-3820.CR2?dl=0 |

Re: Editing Challenge No. 4

Re: Editing Challenge No. 4
Inspired by Invicta to copy his idea. But I cheated a bit.
I used an app called Reflect Studio from Brain Fever. Its free to use for 7 days so this is a free go. It is amazing what it can do with a few clicks. To do it in Photoshop is certainly not as easy . My approach would be to copy the top section and then post it as a new layer. Then flip this new layer vertically and move the two layers to get the join where you want it. Then its a case of manually distorting the bottom layer with brush strokes to simulate water. Be interested to learn how Invicta did it. [IMG] ![]() |

Re: Editing Challenge No. 4
I used a plugin called "Flood 2" from Flamingpear. (Free trial period)
http://www.flamingpear.com/ I then used a gradient mask to blend the water line into the grass so it don't appear as a harsh straight line. |

Re: Editing Challenge No. 4
I was really happy to see that an editing challenge had started up as one of my goals this year is to get my head around the editing side of things. This will give a bit more incentive to do so. So here is my first go:
![]() A bit more understated than some of the others but it is my first go at seriously editing something. Ok, technically I've only processed the RAW file but baby steps. I am using RawTherapee as it is free and I run Linux but it does more than I could possibly hope to understand. If I find the time I might brave Gimp and start playing with layers etc. but, to tell the truth, I am more than a little terrified of that beast. All comments gratefully received. Will |

Glad you have joined in and hope others do too. As you asked I will gladly give you some feedback/encouragement. Firstly, I took the shot so have reasonable memory of what was there and is there quite often in the field behind our house.. ![]() I freely admit that the picture taken doesn't give that and it takes a lot of work to try and push the dynamics, colour and composition all at once. And that is why I offered it up. As suggestions I would say think about what you want to try to achieve (in terms of the composition - subject size and placement, and frame cropping, editing of parts you don't like; the image dynamic range and how high or low key you think it should be together with the treatment of colour). If you can imagine it then you can aim towards it. Others have seen it as an opportunity to be creative and turn it into a grouse. So there is still a great deal that can be imagined. I had two very wicked ideas which I have so far resisted ![]() What you have achieved shows promise. Working with your own image would be easier. But that is part of the challenge too. Plus you can always blame me for taking rubbish shots. ![]() I hope this helps and encourages you to join the people who enjoy a good fiddle. ![]() |
