Processing

This needed little except cropping, levels & curves to improve the tonal range, and variations & colour balance to improve the colour balance. There is really no "right" colour balance - so the tonal range & colour balance were chosen to show some detail in the sea, and to be pleasingly warm. Then the web version was sharpened using "unsharp mask".

Main Photoshop 6 and ImageReady 3 features used

• Image size - crop, image & canvas size.
  Image adjustment - levels, curves, variations, colour balance, clone tool.
  Image adjustment using adjustment layers.
  Presentation features - automate - fit image, save as JPEG.
  In mid-January 2002, for the web version only - "unsharp mask" managed in layers created for the purpose.

Typical Photoshop 6 features not used

• Layers (except adjustment 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.
