Editing in PSCS included first straightening the horizon using the rows of seating. Then a distort followed by a skew transformation. Cropping was then done. Auto levels, Red Paw Media Beautifier filter helped to give an initial lightening and saturation of colors. Then color adjustments using the color balance and selective filters to taste. High pass filter duplicated until desired sharpening. Luminance adjustment to brighten.

One correction to the above description. I actually straightened the horizon using the ruler tool, then I cropped the photo. I then distorted and skewed until I got the final photo the way I wanted.

Sure Marthese--The RPM Beautifier is a free plug-in for Photoshop. You can obtain the filter from this site: http://www.redpawmedia.com/beautifier.html Hope you enjoy the filter as much as I have. Thanks a lot for stopping by and commenting on my photo!

That is some kinda transformation, Susan! Terrific work... I like the almost painted quality, the clerestory light has, and just picking out the rood beam sculptures, high up in the shadows of the vault, near the back.

You know Chris, I almost threw out this photo, but then thought, let me work with it and see what I can do. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how this turned out. Thanks for taking time to look tonight and your encouraging comments. I appreciate especially your explanation of the structural features in the cathedral.

Susan, I downloaded the redpawmedia.com/beautifier. It said it was in my Adobe Photoshop. Cannot find it in Adobe. Where should I look?
