    Better a full bottle in front of me
    than a full frontal lobotomy.

    Great cause and great photos. Although last one seems grainy to me. Was that your intention in PP?

      Interesting you mention the grain I was surprised to not see it in the background. I did look at it and scratched my head a bit. I don't mind it. I will have another look at the raw file. The metal is rough as is the plinth which is sandstone. There is a grain but it is a lot smaller.

        I look forward to your findings when you revisit the RAW file HansE.

        Very Interesting - doesn't appear to have a lot of noise compared with the first one.

          Obviously bought out in pp probably the sharpening. Don't recall If I used the L channel in CMYK or the Hipass filter in RGB.

            You mention CMYK. Are you using this image for printing? Ages ago, I found a noise reduction PS plugin filter called COLORMANCER and it's briliant (give it a go - it's a freebie). I ran it on your pic and it it worked like magic! I used 150 for "Overall Noise Level" and zeroed all other sliders. Then I ran my freebie "Subtle" sharpening action on it (plus a straighten) and below is the result.

              Re the CMYK , No. will look at the channels for various reasons. Surprised at how much grain that is produced by sharpening L channel in LAB sometimes.

            Sounds good. I will look for it. Got a "new" book today Adobe Photoshop CS5 for photographers. 746 pages of unadulterated joy. I think i should master a bit more before using too many plug ins.
