Landscape Pro Software - Before & After Image
Feb 5, 2017 08:41:33 #
Still playing around with Anthropics' LandscapePro software. Had some free time one overcast morning, so I took a ride to the Jersey shore. It was a pretty overcast day, but I thought it might be fun to grab some images and see what could be done with them. The before is the orginal image; the after was run through LandscapePro, Photoshop and Topaz Adjust.

Interesting, especially the lightning touch.
Very good.

So your a graphic artist now ? Although the special effects look great it really does , can you look yourself in the eye and say I shot that, or do you say I made that computer generated picture?

Second one is more dramatic, but the lightning on the right should be deleted, it looks too fakey; at first, I thought it was the negative of a tree branch silouette...

For me it goes way beyond the bounds of enhancing a photograph in post processing. I'm a believer in optimization, but not in addition.

Great to see that you are able to use the tools available to be creative. I don't see anything wrong with graphic manipulation to achieve what you envision the end photo should be. No different than going in and changing exposure compensation on your RAW image after the fact. Creativity is what it's all about, and your end result is nice, even without the lightning effect.

Thanks Spider223. I knew when I posted there would some objections, and I'm okay with that. That's one of the reasons I included the before and after uploads. I knew at the outset where I wanted take this image, and was curious to see if I could do it.

Thanks for your comment. My goal was not to enhance the photo, but to see if I could create the image that I had in my mind.
