Before And After Scanning

[Martin Henson]

This is an example of a negative scan and the end result, I used Photoshop grad filter to darken down the sides, Ian's Dodge and Burn Panel and a little structure control from unsharpe mask, finished of with Levels end point checks, carefully filling a dark are to the right of the water with the clone tool and cropping to suit. All my main tonal adjustments are always carried out in Camera Raw on a copied Layer so I can paint back where needed. No Plugins used only Ian's D&B panel, (could be done without it but makes life so much easier, thanks Ian)

Any questions regarding Scanning or editing ask and I will try to answer

Well, there's no wonder I was up the creek (no pun intended) with this shot in the other section Martin, I thought the background was trees and/or shrubbery! Personally I prefer the positive image.

Soon...Martin when you do an image for the web and tone it like this one, do you do that separately from the one you're going to print from, presumably thats saved without toning and then you tone in IP? DO you ever get in a muddle- I DO - whats'the secret?

 

[Martin Henson]

Lol Simon, the toning is done in camera raw on a copy, when I print with tone i always do it in imageprint (imageprint is a RIP printing software for those that don't know).

I use both, the narrow gamut to add delicate tones and the Wide gamut for heavier tones.

there's a wide Gamut toner in IP? - I didn't even realise!

 

[Martin Henson]

you have to print in a colour profile and its than accessable above the narrow gamut picker
