stirling-preston (Aug 2, 2009 at 19:25)

i dunno about this one its a good shot but it looks like alot of picture enhancing what ever happening to taking a pic and keeping the way it is if the photographer is good enough he will get a good shot without picture enhancing and all that bull.. but i dunno about this one

+ 1

sorbet (Aug 2, 2009 at 21:41)

K... Want me to show you the original to prove that a lot of enhancing and bull didnt go into it? All I did was adjusted the curves... Which adds a bit more contrast and I used unsharp mask to sharpen it...

sorbet (Aug 2, 2009 at 12:00)

Its not "Photoshopped" If you look at other pictures from the album you can see there are similar pictures... All that was edited was adjusting curves and sharpened.

+ 0

bonfire (Aug 3, 2009 at 2:10)

I love this. Even if the rider was 'photoshopped' into the background. Both are pretty decent photos. Also, instead of spending your time studying photoshop techniques, how about you actually go out and take photos, or mayhaps go a ride your bike.

+ 2

Armor (Aug 3, 2009 at 10:14)

yea i noticed the "unedited" version. that one looks believable. the heavy editing made it look fake, but deffinately nicer lookin.
bonfire, close your mouth dude i can comment photos just like everyone else. I think you should spend your time on here for what pinkbike is for, and not saying things to people that don't care about what you have to say.
