These images look great for viewing on web, but what does it do to your fullsize image when you print it at 8x10 or 16x20?
Joe's example is a fine example of what's possible using this technique - it looks like what might happen if you run your photo through Nik's Tonal Contrast, but without the subtlety and control (this seems to be one of the only filters that stumps even some of the best retouchers out there today). |
Like I said....I am offering OPTIONS! Obviously you're a huge fan of the HP filter. Good for you.
