Post Processing Variation to “Add Dimension to Your Flat Photos”

Original is HERE http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/?p=796

Hello all of you Pixel Peeping Maniacs…LOL!!! When I
posted my work flow, nothing is carved in stone. There will be
variations dependent on the contrast of the original photo as well
as the shadow definition. You may for example wish to stop at the
0.3 pixels from 200 to 330 percent and keep it as such. You may
wish to pop up the contrast by using the 40 to 60 pixels from 10 to
15 percent to give it more depth. You may decide not to add this
process knowing that you will add a duplicate layer in Soft light
which will enable you yo go higher in the Fill and Opacity
coefficient. You mat not wish to sharpen at 0.3 percent at 300
pixels but just do the contrast pump formula of 40-60 pixels at
10-15 percent. You may wish to de-saturate your duplicate layer to
give great B&W dimension which subsequently reduces the saturation.
You will add saturation once flattening the layer…etc etc etc. I
use which ever process works best for me.
