This needed cropping with perspective control to get the various straight objects right. Then levels & curves to improve the tonal range, and variations & colour balance to improve the colour balance. (It was a messy picture, and the only one to be criticised out loud by the RPS judges). Then the web version was sharpened using "unsharp mask".
Image size - crop with perspective control, image & canvas size.
Image adjustment - levels, curves, variations, colour balance, clone tool.
Presentation features - stroke (for print border), automate - fit image, save as JPEG.
In mid-January 2002, for the web version only - "unsharp mask" managed in layers created for the purpose.
Layers. Filters. Over 90% of the tools.
But in mid-January 2002, I started to use "unsharp mask" in layers to sharpen the web image.
