Processing

This mainly needed cropping, levels & curves to improve the tonal range, and variations & colour balance to improve the colour balance. However, getting the colour balance plausible was very hard - there is no "right" for an image taken under such "atmospheric" conditions. The web version is simply one of a number of equally plausible versions. The roofs of the buildings on the right were emphasised using contrast/brightness. 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, contrast/brightness, hue/saturation, 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.
