Registered 17 years agoWahey!!! July's Practical Photographer turned up last night. Anyway, they've an interesting quick tutorial on getting Fuji Velvia type effects with digital pictures.

but I'm really happy with the results... In fact I'm that happy that I've entered it in this competition!!! I'll be cheeky and post a link when it goes live so you can all rate it!!! 
Oh yes, and I do like the heavily saturated look for this kind of photo. -
You can NEVER simulate Velvia digitally, that film is just such a bad ass! =)
If you go for heavy levels/saturation changes, I suggest you use RAW mode exclusively, it will give you a much better colour resolution to play with and avoid the ugly posterizing effect that comes with it.
Another tip is to switch levels with curves. Curves (Ctrl+m or even better, as an adjustment layer) let you do non-linear modifications insteaad of the linear way levels works in. -

Don't suppose anyone knows of a good curves tutorial anywhere? -
Googling for +photoshop +curves +tutorial found me this nice tutorial, it's rather good actually.
Using curves will let you deal with the most advanced colour correction jobs. -

Wonderful - well spotted! Works just perfectly with the colours of the train. One 'critique' - you might have been able to rescue the highlights on the platform and the train by underexposing by a couple of stops. You should still have been able to use levels or curves to get the exposure right for the old geezer.
Okay, dumb question: Define 'highlights'...

Registered 18 years agootto: Noted. It's taking me quite a while to get familiar with the concept of exposure, as I really haven't had to think about it before getting the SLR. But yeah, it's a shame the top of the train got blown out, especially. -

I really like the photo of Bled. The quality of the light, the dappling of the tree, the architecture, and the slight fogging in the distance all make it look like a chocolate box painting - with a Mothercare buggy in it.
I've tried to cobble together some of my preferred stuff into a little gallery/portfolio-type thing, here. It's a really difficult exercise.
One minute I think I'm being overly selective, next minute I think I'm being absurdly indiscriminate. And I've still got several years' worth of negatives to scan in, so it's only going to get worse. :/
Good point about the histogram. It's one of the few things (other than speed) that are missing from my diddy A95 - it can show a histogram, but only in play mode - I don't think you can even get a histogram on the short review after taking a shot. -

edit - don't know about the 20D but the D70 has a 'highlights' view on the LCD which will flashes the highlights on and off which is really helpful. I keep my view on that and the histogram all the time, really helps.
Edited by otto at 13:56:28 17-06-2005
Yeah, I just checked, the 20D does the same. You can set it to show the histogram after every shot and any overexposure flashes on the LCD. That is, indeed, massively helpful. -
