Post-Processing PP Challenge #71

OK let's shake things up a little - literally:

Tim, there is clear green banding across the middle of the image. With my level of PP in this image, it didn't matter very much at all.

yeap, noticed the banding too... specially when you bump up the saturation abit.

Of course you can. When I update a challenge entry, I'll send the host a PM to make sure he/she is aware of the change. I catch most of the changes.

At least I don't see any sensor dust. Or am I not seeing that also.

I had a bit of a go at it.... I decided that color was a bit hard to deal with due to the banding but I still had a bit of a fiddle with it.

Ash, that is amazing! Comic Bookish... very cool

My attempt... one spec of sensor dust in a cloud and I could not do a great job on the banding so basically tried to hide it... I had a lot of fun trying to make the colours pop while retaining detail, and it was challenging, thank you. Anyway, I could keep on fiddling but life must go on so here it is... cheers!

Here's my take on it. First time participating as well.

Nice vintage effect privateryan. And thanks for the kind comment, Tess!
Also loved the way you lit the subject up so well, todd.

Ok, I'm totally new to this and this is a bit boring creatively but my attempt (using Gimp)...

Final effort:

After noticing that there was more detail in the figure in one of my efforts I decided to do a rough composite of the figure out of one into the other shot to see how it looked. It's pretty rough as I didn't have time to refine the outline etc. It doesn't look right and there's that outline on the shoulders too.. worth a look though. I tried using grain to unify the look but it really needs a higher res and less noisy picture to make it work.

My Final Effort on page 4<<<: (Only used soft/hard brushes, I used my edit from page 2 as my base)
