Good choice! I think the contrast to all the yellows on her sweater makes her stand out better.

Thx. Complimentary colors. Works well.

I have been reviewing old, previously rejected, photos and find that many grab shots and badly composed photos can be rescued with generative fill. Here is an example, it is a shot of the Jesuit church in Luzern.

1. SOOC



2. Some ACR adjustments and a Luminar filter applied

3. I uploaded #2 to pixelcut.ai for AI generative fill, this was the result (I used online processing as poor eyesight means that Photoshop menus are becoming difficult to read)

4. I found the white wall a bit to bright so dumbed it down a bit

A family heirloom project I was doing yesterday.

This is a snuffbox presented as gift to one of my wife's ancestors in 1834, who at the time, was an Alderman in the Council of the City of London and at a later date, he became the Lord Mayor of the City of London.

The left side is the RAW as it got imported by Darktable and the right hand side is the version after Base Curve, Rotation, mild crop, exposure correction, saturation correction and local contrast were applied.

Terrific! Fantastic recovery of detail!

RAW file, SOOC...



Corrected white balance, basic processing via 'Light' and 'Effects' sliders in ACR.

Opened in PS. Did some 'gardening' with the remove brush to clear the worst of the branches away.

Final crop.

This yellow-headed caracara alighted on a post not too far from where I was standing, and let me get some shots. I was happy with the SOOC pics but did some refining. I removed vegetation in front of the bird using Adobe AI, brightened the subject, subdued some of the highlights, and burned parts of the background. There were also many little brightness and color adjustments made here and there.

Before (but cropped)


After


The bird has prey in its clutches, but I don't know what it is.

Just enough prcessing to look great, without ending up plasticky. Lovely work.

Wow. Excellent.

Wow. Excellent.

Thank you. The forum doesn't quite show the final look accurately, unfortunately.

 

[Greyswan]

It never does, on socials unfortunately.
