Here my latest edit of a shot of mine



Help with it or tips or anything is welcomed (and or needed)

Choose a less boring shot to edit. This one is just blue sky and a plane. The plane itself isn't really detailed either. So except for radical colouring there isn't much you can do with this shot.


Just IMHO though

cheers

Try and edit a pic that is full of detail.  ;)

Heres my latest edit.. in the edited section  ::)





I tried to follow souichs advice on this one... i dunno how well i did.. but

Way better!!! Do you have the raw screen for us as well?

yup

You overdarkened the shot - easy to do  :) - and there still isn't much background detail.

Clouds. Mountains. Buildings. Other planes. You know - details  ;)
And try more dynamic angles. Use F1 view (free from Flight1 software) to help with this.

Try to sort out your problem with jaggies too. It really takes away from a shot.

Basic rule is that usually the original has to be good for the edit to look good. Look at other people's work. Copy it. That's how I learn.....and am still learning  ::)

You're definitely improving though!!!

Sorry for overdarkening it, Ive tried to download GIMP a few times.... does anyone know a mirror for it corresponding to the NorthEast of America?

Also, Krigl, I have posted in the hardware section for help with my hell Dell... and havent been able to fully cure the problem with jaggies

I don't use photoshop, my demo time ran out  :(
I have always used paint.net and I get things like this.

hmmm, struggling to think of any tips...what exactly are you trying to achieve?

Im not trying to be rude (honestly ) but the editing seems to be kinda random, like blur it, adjust contrast the hue. You should really have a specific goal, and if your just gonna 'fiddle' with the colours etc then have a specific mood/tone in mind. I dunno, just my view....

I would join up at www.screenshotart.com though and ask there (and be a little more specific), they know what they are talking about
