I like your warm color, it speaks about relaxing evening.

Ha ha Paul, you are so funny. I'm not talking about that finger (which I can see now since you mentioned it) but the burgundy reflection on the glass, which happens to be close to your fingers.

Damn! That's where i hit my nail with a hammer about 6 weeks ago, i cloned it out of the other shot and forgot with this one, thanks for picking it up.

Btw, you might want to clone out the little reflection on the right side of the glass. It makes it look as if you painted your nails...not good on a guy :)

Now you are talking Paul. Much better. was going cross-eyed with the previous version.
Paul 06-May-2005 23:15
Slightly different image without the greyness. It's a lot better in comparison i think
Paul 06-May-2005 05:34
I see what you mean now. It does look a tad grey now you mention it. I'll have a play around tonight and see what i come up with. It came out quite dark which was what i wanted but in the original you couldn't quite make out the glass of wine enough so i played around with contrast and brightness and something else that i can't remember what which will have given it the greyness.
Thanks

I meant "Black Point".
aam1234 06-May-2005 04:22
No no Paul, not remove color. See, the photo looks as if there is a gray layer over it, so was suggesting to remove that layer. Another method that you can use is "black spot" (I think).
Paul 06-May-2005 01:28
Aam, still don't know what you mean by removing the 'color cast' Do you mean removing all the colour in the image? I wouldn't want to do that as the warm light and the red wine are supposed to give the mood of the shot
aam1234 05-May-2005 20:36
Well, you don't want to get PP advice from me. But if you insist, you can try this simple method: Enhance /Adjust Color/Color Cast. Then pick either a totally black or totally white spot. It's easier than it looks. Oh, if it messes your photo, ask more knowledgeable people :)

What's a 'color cast' Aam? How do you remove it?
Thanks

Nice to see you reading the Aussie classics Paul. I like the warm lighting on this & the wine bottle just seen is a nice touch mate.
Guest 05-May-2005 13:58
Well done Paul, I like the effect of the soft lighting, but I don't know about reading in the dark. ;-)

Great photo Paul. But can't you remove the color cast. It could be done easily, unless it's intentional. Still like it as it is.
