<< Great Hill>>


Hi,

I've been "playing" with this image for quite a while, and recently using the convert to B&W plug in.

Down load image

I'd be interested to see if anyone can make a silk purse from a pigs ear emoticon especially using the plug in. I'd also be interested to see what settings you used.

Sorry for the small image size, but it was taken a while ago with Mrs. Riv's old 2M pixel camera.

P.S. Thanks Mr. Prince for the like to "you_send_it"

Okay...some quick and dirty...
Image

duplicate layer
bottom layer filter 359, contrast 0,0,1.0
top layer filter 359, contrast 0,0,3.0
blend with soft light, add a gradient filter, pump up the highlights and shadows, sharpen.
The second image is just the result of the first manipulations run through with contrast 0,0,3.0 again and a bit of Neat for the clouds

But how did you want your silk purse?
