Andy

Wonderful shot and your blog has some stunning photos as well. Do you use Photoshop to adjust the photograph? If yes how do you do the adjustments?

Thanks chaps

Mark I have used photoshop but recently moved to Paint Shop Pro x2 to adjust the images. In both, I simply adjust the red/green/blue colour balance and then the brightness/contrast a little. I composite from two images - a prom image with higher exposure and a disc image with lower exposure - using the magic wand tool to grab the disc, feather the adges a few pixels and then paste it over the prom image as a layer. I'm still new to imaging and to the PST so I am sure there is a lot more I could be doing but it's all part of the fun!
