Definite Bump.
How are you going to print it?
Or how HAVE you printed it I should say.
How big?

:cool:

Zaitz, Chassis, Gth - thank you.

Gth - not sure yet, this was a quick edit of a preview scan. The letter size inkjet print I made last night looks good, but I'll need some time staring at it and a drum scan before I decide on max print size.

Beautiful image and soft tones. It reminds me of Tristan Campbell's work.

I'm sorry if it's a repost, but going through some last year images.....

Thanks Nana,

Epson V700. It does an okay job. I make a grid pattern of guide lines in PS, and view each square in the grid at 100% or more. I remove unwanted elements like dust and spots, etc from each square one at a time using a Wacom tablet. It takes time, but the resulting image is pretty clean.

I'm sure there is a better way, but I don't trust using filters or other techniques that are applied to the entire image.

Jesus this picture is awesome. I just love it. It's got everything going for it. Dynamic colors, dynamic sky, mountains in the background, deep shadows, glowing highlights. It's one of my favorite landscape pictures that I've seen in a while, and definitely one of the best pictures I've ever seen taken within the Great Sand Dunes National Park. Excellent job Zaitz!

Well I finally finished editing this drum Scan. On 4x5 Velvia 50 from Great Sand Dunes NP in September. I am surprised at the color casts I had in my original: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zboumee...57626457305442

I tried to keep the mountains more neutral as well as the sky. Glad I am finally done editing, it took forever. Just getting rid of the small bits of sand/dust took over 6 hours. I would have liked to keep the vignetting less noticeable in the lower right. Not sure if it's the scan or my processing but the drum scan has much better detail in the highlights of the sky.
