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.[/quote]

Stephen, That's what I said in message 14.

Surely A slight increase in Gamma is much the same as a slight increase in contrast using curves

Hi Don & all,

Here is my version; let me know your opinion and if it's worth listing changes. As Wolfie says, it is already a good picture but I understood Don wishes to learn how to alter it.

Gerry.

And yet you applied all the rest :)
:eek: :D

:eek: IMO this has destroyed the subtle tones of the original

Gerry the image colours don't look to bad maybe just a little to strong, not much and for some reason there is a slight blur but that could be from the resized upload.

Thanks Guys
 

Wow guys thanks for your efforts.

I really need to download your results as I can have them all on screen at the same time. It will be easier to tie your comments together that way.

Taken me a bit of time to return here after logging on, as I have been in Duncans colour mode thread. Phew !!

Don

Stephen. All the rest?

Well yes it took all of 40 secs to do.

The difference in all the various efforts where so minor that I made the comment

"I notice that there are only very slight differences in all the varations, which suggests Don got it all spot on"

Harry

My intrepretation for what it is worth

Just going to post my observations Rob, just in case you guys thought I'd nodded of. I will hold off and add to what I have written so far.

Thanks for the contribution.

Don

Watching Hustle at the same time so I will go off and come back later
