Jonzjob Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Don't you mean 'more of a dirty grey colour' Twinks?The same shot as the one above, but this time an UNDOCTORED sunset Cassis! [:P][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/DSC06463-1.jpg[/IMG]As WAS said above. It was undoctored and straight from the camera, complete with the date stamp. That helps me to identify when the photo was taken. But as it offends the more photogenic amongst us it has been removed and so as to further please the phornogenic eye the 1/3 rule has also been applied!I try to take photos that I can show straight from the camera, like my 'kissing cousins' Red Arrows photo. I try NOT to adulterate them. If I can't take what I consider pleasing then it is scrapped, not crapped...[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Mr Zjob - for Gawd's sake turn the date stamp off on your camera!How about cropping the foreground to about 1/3 of the height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I've wondered that. Would it just be seen as patronising, do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugsy Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Coop, I,m answering for Dick, 'cos he's having a quick smoke behind the bike shed. Just zoom in quite a bit and then use the clone tool to cover the wires. With care it's possible to do a very good job although the background colour variation in that picture might cause a bit of a problem. I'll nick it off her and have a try.

Bugsy Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Briefly get the picture and enlarge until you can see the individual pixals.Grab the Clone ToolRight click to choose a size (3 is about right)Hold down 'Alt' and left click on a nearby area of similar colour.Go over the area to change and use the left click in a sort of dabbing action.Should be good.

Dick Smith Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 These are two pictures, before and after the clone tool and adjusting levels - my first attempt at Photoshopping, back in '95. The house is in Ste Geoire de Valdaine.Before[IMG]http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/dick_at_aulton/26.jpg[/IMG]and after[IMG]http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f338/dick_at_aulton/ChezRichard95.jpg[/IMG]Should we open a thread on techniques?

Dick Smith Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Yes - may be a 'deformation professionelle' but I've never seen offering advice or constructive criticism as patronising, or as someone seems to be saying elsewhere as 'pulling apart'.In answer to 'doctoring' - if you are an oldie like me who spent many hours in stuffy darkrooms dodging and burning prints it comes as second nature. One of the joys of photography in France is that old buildings are kept in use rather than being demolished and replaced, so the picturesque is represented in spades. The downside is that they are now festooned with cables and other visual impedimenta, and when viewed 'live' the eye filters out what the camera cruelly displays. In the UK my bugbear is intrusive street furniture. Much harder to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
