This needed some cropping, levels & curves to improve the tonal range, and variations & colour balance to improve the colour balance, plus some extra saturation to bring out the red on their skin. The major change was to remove the out-of-focus Iguana in the background. (Select round the right hand Iguana in the foreground with the polygon lasso tool, invert the selection, then clone some rock onto the background Iguana). Some out-of-focus rock was removed from the foreground using the clone tool. Then the web version was sharpened using "unsharp mask".
Image size - crop, image & canvas size.
Image adjustment - levels, curves, variations, hue/saturation, 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.
