Hi all, I realy need some help here! I just recieved photoshop cs2 and started off by playing with this pic. I stupidly resized it before doing the postwork cause i thought it wouldn't work out to be a keeper...... So I've tried duplicating what I did to the best of my know how (cant realy remember what i did :crying: ) but cant seem to get that same detail in the petals. So anyone out there please help me..... From what I think i did was a brightness/contrast of brightness -45 contrast +27 But I'm sure that there was also a great deal of sharpening....... Please help anything would be appreciated!

I payed to get myself into an institution :m_tear: Check out my temporary site: APACHA

I would try the shadow/highlight tool...

I moved this to Photoshop as I believe you will get a lot more response. Cheers

I managed to get something similar: 1-- first I did brightness/contrast like you described: -45/+27 2-- then I chose Edit/Fade Brightness/Contrast to adjust the amount slider a bit 3-- then I did a Filter/Sharpen.../Smart Sharpen at 100%/4pixels. You can really do a lot with this Smart Sharpen tool in advanced mode in the highlights and shadows Hope you can do something with this...

Just to remind you... when you've forgot what you did, and REALLY, REALLY want to know.... use your History tab. The only down side, is if you purged it. Lou. One other thing that I find handy is to use "Variations"... you get an immediate look, if you have preview checked, at what you'll get, without having to commit... cancel works good for me.

another handy tip is always work on a duplicate of your original image, that way if you can't remember what you've done, and purged the history you can always start from the original again

peace and bright blessings

Use Adjustment Layers for a powerful, non-destructive workflow too.

Yeah.... even though I :lol: know what I'm doing, so they tell me, I work from a copy when I want to experiment with things... usually, what I'll do is simply copy the layer, then make it invisible while I fiddle. Lou.
