do this...

use levels for the highlights, midtones and shadows
& curves to get the contrast out more.

when u use curve...use the S-curve...but must be careful with the midtones, dont loose it.

then add more drama by adding "Edge Burns". 2 ways to do this.
1. use the burn tool at 150-300 brush size, opacity 5-15, then burn the left and right edges.

or

2. duplicate the original, blend to MULTIPLY, use the circle MARQUEE tool and create an OVAL then feather it with a value of 150-250...and press DELETE. The result will look like a vignette...

too chim... :embrass:

[foxtwo]

Have you determined what are needed to be "helped" in the IR shot first?

 

[foxtwo]

dun wan lah...he might Charge me KOPI!...dun wan lah...if he say TEH...i ok one...
Y? cos I buy for him, I drink for him, I BURP...oso for him.
he just need to sit there and see me drink his TEH.

I'm not a caffeine freak.

Actually I was wondering... Cheat, wanna try printing IR negs?

 

[foxtwo]

no no...

follow the proper rat torture procedure:

tie him up flat on his back so he cant move. cut away a small square piece of skin off his stomach area. place a large starving rat in a rat cage over his stomach. the rat cage has the bottom part removed so that rat cannot escape but is free to feed on whatever its standing on. the torture and death will therefore be slow, horrible and painful. and icer is right, the anticipation of the rat's next meal is worse than death.

hahahH!

Haha~! I could help you print, as soon as I'd gotten a proper lensboard. No point printing contact print for you, since it's very hard to manuever with 35mm film. But if you really wish to, I could try and print for you over the weekend. Bring your negs tomorrow if you wanna.

If there is no shoot... there is still a good use of the tripod... U can use it to crack the skull the organiser who fly U aeroplane.... :devil:

Chinatown? Think going to be damn crowded due to the lighting up... Plus the roads will be blocked I think...
