Image Editing and Post Editing

Tomor­row, our call we will focused on Image Edit­ing. For this exer­cise we need one pho­to­graph in orig­i­nal for­mat as shot.

I order to be able to advise call par­tic­i­pants indi­vid­u­ally, I would like to ask you to select your image (can be most any­thing, land­scape, mon­u­ment, ani­mal, flower, por­trait) from your col­lec­tion and attach it to an email and send it to my email at yorgo(at)yorgo.net. Please make sure you send a photo as shot with­out any edit­ing, crop­ping or clip­ping or fil­ter­ing. Don’t even add Light­room cam­era cal­i­bra­tion filters.

Please send a shot which has been taken with­out zoom­ing. In the worst case just set your cam on auto­matic and take a shot out of your next win­dow with­out zoom­ing and send that one.

The ear­lier you send your pic­ture, the big­ger the chance that we will have time to edit it and to help you with pre­sets or fil­ters which may serve your cam­era cal­i­bra­tion and ‘stan­dard fil­ter­ing’ for quickly develop and edit your pictures.

Image 1: as shot and deliv­ered by the camera.

Image 2: basic edit­ing — rotate the pic­ture as the hori­zon was not hor­i­zon­tal and the ver­ti­cals bend to the left side; a global vit­a­min pack gets the pic up to speed. As this is a heav­ily zoomed image, the sharp­ness and details can­not be recov­ered as should. That’s why we would like to get a image with­out zoom.

Image 3: Black and white ver­sion of ver­sion 2.

Image 4: Some post-editing to remove crane and con­struc­tion works. This post edit­ing job can be done much bet­ter: in this case I just blew in 3 strokes with the con­tent aware heal­ing brush from Pho­to­shop CS5 — this takes exactly 3 seconds!
