Before and After
Friends, today I am processing more images for my book on Hawk Ridge, this image of a Northern Goshawk grabbed me but i didn’t have a solution for the problem of no space at the top of the bird’s head. Arthur Morris to the rescue, on his blog Birdsasart, he just gave a video tutorial on adding space that was dynamite for me, you can see his video at: http://www.birdsasart-blog.com/2013/01/01/free-photoshop-tutorial-video-i-how-did-that/ . Thanks Artie, In short I also used the detail extractor from Color Effex Pro 4 and used a layer mask to add the details only to the bird. the top image is right out of the camera (raw) and the second is after processing. til Tomorrow MJ

that makes a big difference, well worth your efforts marge!
Nicely done. I’ll give the tutorial a look. I think I know how to do it but there is always something to learn.
