First I downsized the image to 1500pix. Then I took a copy of the image and pasted it in a second layer.  On the second copy I made a Countour drawing. Then I set visibility to 81% on the bottom layer. And to 41% on the contour layer. Flattened the image and enhanced sharpness a bit. And aded my Logo of course.  Done!

First I had to clone away the dirt on the left side. Then I made the image a bit lighter.
 
After that I opened the image in ACR /Adobe Camera Raw) and CS5. I wanted to get rid of the snow and tried the Adjustment brush (Lagningspensel) and it worked. I could remove it without having to avoid the grass. Marvellous! A great tool.

But after posting it on my blog the contrast to the blogs black page too great. I went back to Arc Soft Photo studio and created the soft frame

Done!

The image I choose to work with. I copied the left side of the image approx from the line I added just to show you where. Then I pasted it and made it a mirror image.  And then placed it at the approptiate place. I had to do some black painting on the background to hide miscolored areas.

    NF Photo 121028 original
    Arc Soft Photo studio

The shot opened in CS5 camera Raw. I had read in a book that there is a way to sharpen only certain parts of the shot so I wanted to explore that. I choosed the third button named Detail in the row. The function there is to mask all soft parts of the photo leaving edges to be sharpened. If you press the ALT button on your keyboard the window becomes BW and lets you see what is going to be sharpened. Well. I kind of liked the bw image shown. And that is where I got in trouble.

While pressing the ALT button and simutainiously pushing the 4th handle "Masking" the bw image shows you the amount of sharpening. I liked it but as soon as I took my finger off the ALT butten or the Masking handle the bw dissappeared. To solve that problem I had to use my left hand to press ALT and to move the Masking handle. And with the right hand try to take a shot with my powershot camera. PUH! Not easy as the mouse slipped away all the time or I droped the handle. But I got one shot that was good enough to be able to fix. :)

Well, I liked what that thing did so I probably use it again. :)

Done!

Bildbehandling i CS5. Jag använde "Gör Flytande" och "Poster edges" som huvudsakliga filterverktyg. Lite retuch och färgjustering också.
