| Photoshop work includes
brightening the NASA images - they are posted in
compressed luminance form which makes them dark. I
restore the range of brightness, then crop and remove
some of the annoying flaws like things cut in half, color
splotches, etc. The Martian Rusty-brown is pretty well
known now so I try to balance the color channels to get
it to look like, well, Mars! Sharpening is done with
selective contrast enhancement, color saturation and
tools that accentuate tonal changes. In other words I
spend up to two hours or more on some pictures like the
one shown. Rusty |
