At the Jetty
Uploaded: August 23, 2003
Brighton Jetty, Melbourne. The original unaltered image was shot on Fuji Sensia 100, but I felt it lacked punch

Wonderful work, John! #175722Patricia Marroquin August 23, 2003
Stunning, John! Love the color and the way the composition leads your eye all the way down the pier. Would love to see the original before you added the "punch." :-) Nice job! #175876Paula Showen August 23, 2003

Thank you all for your kind comments. I was asked what the original was like so have included it also #176815Patricia Marroquin August 24, 2003
Thanks for posting the original, John. A gorgeous image to begin with, and your work on it is incredible. Wish I knew how to achieve this from an original photo. Great job! #177252John D. Quixley August 25, 2003
Hi PatriciaJohn D. Quixley August 25, 2003
Sorry forgot to add that I need to correct curves & levels overal as well. I did this on a further layer but have unfortunatly no longer have my working file. I think that is all. #177617Susana Matos August 25, 2003
Thank you so much for sharing this information. Me too will keep it and learn more about photoshop possibilities.Patricia Marroquin August 25, 2003
Thanks for all the info, John! #177948John D. Quixley August 26, 2003
Actually I found the original .psd file. The procedure I posted will work and have done that previously but this is what I actually did tracing back in my fileOf course this method won't work for all images as it will depend on the colours in the original. this original was predominantly blue whereas a green image Would end up completely different. In this case you could possibly alter the original hues before duplicating a layer & inverting. Basically play around with the modes, hues & invert!! Have fun #178977
