Enhancing photo's for print.

[farkewie]

Hi,

I just got back from doing the SCT (will post a bit of a report later ) and I took my DSLR which im still learning to use. I have selected a couple of photos that we would like to get blown up pretty large. I don't really know to to use photoshop or anything to get the most out of the image. I do have the trial version installed through. I was wondering if anyone with some more experiance would mind taking a look at the images and letting me know what they would do? I understand my images are not a professional level so i cant really re-take them just trying to work with what i have.

here is a link to a folder with the TIF and Raw images if it helps.

Here are the compressed versions.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice

I'm not a a post processing expert but I do have the scaled down version of Photoshop. This was done on PS Elements, about $150. Just maybe an indicator of what could come out in about 5 minutes of playing.

I didnt download the bigger image, just the smll one in the body of the message, for printing you would definately work on the largest image size. All i did was select the sky region in both and feather the edge so there wasnt an obvious transition and adjusted levels, inverse and levels again on the foreground.






please let me know if you want me to remove
