Processing

This needed little except a small degree of rotation (counter-clockwise), cropping, levels & curves to improve the tonal range, and variations & colour balance to improve the colour balance. The "flared" image of the sun towards the left had to be removed using the clone tool. The hard decision with this photograph was whether to try to reveal, or hide, the shadow & low-level detail. (It actually works both ways - but this version is lighter than it could be). 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.
