zaflemos Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Trying to improve the image I took on a very sunny day. I made separate selection for the sky background and the grounds on the foreground. It does show I need to practice more on many things. unni, Dan C and Wosven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unni Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Good work. Improvements possible. The mask for the rock needs further refinement. You can use refine mask option. Blurring mask slightly will improve the edge issues. Water can be left without clarity effect as it is a moving stuff. Apply the effect only where it is required. For this, put in a group and have a black mask for the group. Paint white on this mask in areas where you want the modifications to be revealed. These are easy and commonly used steps, with some practice it will be easy. Overall effect can be reduced by controlling opacity of the modifications,it is a bit strong.

I never tried the refine mask option. Gotta practice using that one. Finally learned to put layers in group something that make things easier. unni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max P Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hi good start my suggestion Return to develop personna , Play witf clarity => We quickly have a blue vertical bar, never touch the right limit, it is the abyss you must go reduce exposition about -0.462. In this special case reducing the brightness and high light is not enough , normally its enough Okay now go clarity 22% + or - Developp Duplicate background put it in soft light reduce opacity about 60% That's all Sorry for my english, it's the principe, with pratice, it' will be good.
