Harris Ruin

[ST-EOS]

A Mono version of a ruin that I've previously posted in a landscape thread, I would be interested in your thoughts on this as I don't do a lot of this type of processing.

A little bit of tweaking in LR and then some Silver Efx in PSCC. But i don't really feel comfortable with BW I can't think in Black and White IYSWIM Ian

That's OK by me Ian, I must check out a few tutorials to see if I can get this processing to stick in my old grey matter

Re: Harris Ruin

I think whatever you use to covert to mono, this will always be better in colour

hope you don't mind had a bit of a play - working with a download is never good, but this is the type of thing I would try

Re: Harris Ruin

Ian has beaten me to it. I was going to say it could do with a bit more contrast. I find that doing as much as you can in Silver Efex then have another tweak in LR really helps, especially pushing the clarity once back in LR. It's a good image though.

all Tonalty Patrick - I find you get much more control

Re: Harris Ruin

Thanks for all the comments and for Ian's tweak it's so much better than my rubbish edit.

There is an odd effect when transferring from PS to SilverFX - if the photo has any sharpening applied SilverFX can add dreadful haloing along high contrast edges. Judging from your photo the same issues may apply to LR as well.
