My default in CS is srgb the same as in camera, I only ever check the profile when I have downloaded someone else's photo's. I have found that if I don't check any editing I do seems to get stripped off when its converted to srgb for the web, so I check first then edit.
I don't know what CS does to the file but in the directory where I downloaded it it was 200k when I came to CS save it was showing over 400k so had to reduce, That I can't fathom. |

What I did notice is that the red on the left is much more vibrant in Stephens variation, something I cannot match exactly. I do think though that we are all in agreement that the original looks a little flat. Will upload my variation shortly. Harry I think there's a lot of people on here with not a lot of work to do :) |
Wolfie he may have gone over it with the burn tool as I did.

I notice that there are only very slight differences in all the varations, which suggests Don got it all spot on. On my attempt I increased the gamma slightly, but then added the "High Pass" filter @ 12 pixels, then used the "Soft light" blend and adjusted the opacity to 70%. On saving, to produce a similar file size as Don, I had to save at quality 3. Harry |
Has anyone got a bad image that we can work on and post the results with how we did it. I havn't got one trashed them all.

Never take any :) but there may be about 40GBs worth on my dedicated photo hard drive

This is now getting confusing.

In that case in must be down to monitor calibration.
I use Quick Gamma http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html and Monitor Calibration Wizard http://www.hex2bit.com/products/product_mcw.asp |

Frankly its my opinion that the tweaks mentioned above are hardly necessary on Dons picture, apart from maybe a slight increase in contrast using Curves. To change the Gamma etc is not needed unless you want to create a more specific effect. |
