Lesson 16, Part 1 is ready for release along with the previously completed Introduction and Discussion sections. Of course I'll finish the other two parts before posting the lesson.

Part one looks pretty darned good even if I say so myself. As a hands-on introduction to color-correction and sharpening using Lab color mode it will surely please participants with their results. My guess is that the lesson will boost the image-editing skill of participants.

Youda man!

Lesson 16, Part 3 has to be written, everything else is ready to go

after proof reading. Part 2 is going to make you giggle with glee

because it is so surprisingly easy for such a good result.

Shouldn't take much longer but the Wednesday Geobabe run comes

on Tuesday this week. You know how it is, without me the Geobabes

would just get into a whole lot of trouble. Somebody has to look

after them.

There's a blonde driving on the freeway when her husband calls her cell phone.

He says,"Honey! Be careful!!! I'm watching the news and on the freeway there's a car driving the wrong way!"

She replies,"There's not just one, there's freaking hundreds of them!!!!!"

So this cute couple is walking down the street towards the Courthouse to get their marriage license when they are struck down and both instantly killed. They find themselves together at St. Peter's gate and, while waiting in line, decide they want to see if they can get married in Heaven. So they ask St. Peter if this is possible. St. Peter says he needs to check and leaves the gate to find out. After quite a while (a month or two, actually), the couple starts to doubt the whole eternity thing, and they decide to ask St. Peter if divorce is also possible in Heaven. A little while later St. Peter returns and announces that, yes, marriage is possible in Heaven. So the couple then ask him if divorce is possible. St. Peter, in his most surly voice, says, "Holy Mother of Jesus, it took me 3-months to find a priest up here -- how long do you think it will take to find a freaking lawyer!!"

For several years a man was having an affair with an Italian woman. One

night, she confided in him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin

his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she

would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in Italy to

raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child

turned 18. She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was

born. To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card,

and write "Spaghetti" on the back. He would then arrange for the child

support payments to begin.

One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.

"Honey," she said, "you received a very strange post card today." "Oh,

just give it to me and I'll explain it later," he said. The wife obeyed

and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.

On the card was written: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti,

Spaghetti. Three with meatballs, two without. Send extra sauce."

As for being in the source photo, I reckon that's just the way it goes...being short usually means I get stuck in front and the picture comes out blurry. :laughing: It's a great photo for practicing your creative-cropping techniques...!

Pat,

Glad to see that somebody is giving Lesson 16 a try. Putting some color snap into that shot sure

brought out detail in the boulders and brush of that middle-distance hill. The after shot makes me

think that the photo was taken under a very bright and hot sun.

I really like the way that L-Channel sharpening doesn't introduce color halos at image edges.

Good going. Were the Part 1 procedural steps clear enough?

Funny thing, I never noticed until now that Team Adelos had a bow-legged member. Also I see

that he figured out how to sneak past the San Diego County Unbunched Sock Police.

A lot of my photos come out looking like this:

Cool, the opposite problem. I'll have a go at it and post some comments.

So here's a quick-and-dirty enhancement that helps somewhat. The tough part of this one is

that the sky and the foreground part of the trail were actually burned in. Result is that there isn't

any hidden detail in those two areas to work with

Much like Lesson 16, Part 1 just convert to Lab mode, duplicate the background layer, and then

set Layer 1 Blend Mode to Multiply. After that do the other stuff to increase color and lightness

range and L-Channel sharpen. Of course you can go darker by duplicatiing the Multiply layer

once more and fine tune with that layer's Opacity slider.

For the sky I activated a new layer below Layer 1 and pasted a sky that I swiped by Selecting

and Ctrl-C'ing it from another image entirely, then Ctrl-V'ed it onto that new layer which must be

below Layer 1 in the stacking order. Once that is done then click the Layer 1 eyeball icon and

adjust the "This layer" slider to the left in order to replace Layer 1 sky with the one on the layer

below as described elsewhere in Lesson 16.

As far as the burned-in trail is concerned one could darken it a bit but in this extreme case I just

left it as is.

Odd that you are experiencing bad exposures with your camera. By any chance does one of your

fingers wander over the little exposure window when taking pictures? If you took the shot out near

Carveacre then maybe Cross-Eyed Booger Flies were landing on the exposure wiindow of your

camera now and then. Y' might want to fumigate your camera case.

This has nothing to do with Harmon or his lesson 16 (but maybe??)

A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. As they stand at the Pearly Gates waiting to enter Paradise and meet their maker, God decides to grant each person one wish because of the grief they have experienced.

They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what the wish is. "I want to be gorgeous," and so God snaps His fingers, and it is done. The second one in line hears this and says "I want to be gorgeous too." Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted.

This goes on for a while with each one asking to be gorgeous, but when God is halfway down the line, the last guy in the line starts laughing.

When there are only ten people left, this guy is rolling on the floor, laughing his head off.

Finally, God reaches this last guy and asks him what his wish will be. The guy eventually calms down and says:

"Make 'em all ugly again."
