First this was rotated clockwise, to get the lower layer of the upper clouds level (without worrying about whether this was right for the land!) Then this needed little except cropping, levels & curves to improve the tonal range, and variations to improve the colour balance. Then the web version was sharpened using "unsharp mask".
Image size - rotation (several degrees), crop, image & canvas size.
Image adjustment - levels, curves, variations, 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.
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.
