27 Jun 18 Comment The High Pass filter is normally used to sharpen images - you create a copy layer then apply the High Pass filter and use soft light or overlay blend, the effect can be adjusted by the radius used, using a layer mask and or adjusting the layer opacity. The reversed effect which is rather like negative clarity is achieved by inverting (making to negative) the grey layer before applying the blend. High Pass layers can be stacked and by careful masking you can have both sharpening and softening on different parts of the image. You will need to experiment to find how it works best for you.

I do not use Topaz, it is not used a lot in the UK. Look at my version of Renee's image to see how the reversed High Pass differs from gausian blur - effect is similar to negative clarity in Lightroom. 		Jun 13th

27 Jun 18 Comment To me in this image we have major conflict of interest between the red sails of the junk and Samsung sign, especially as they are so close together. The sign really needs some toning down. I think that had the image been taken a little later with the junk further to the right increasing the separation, it would be stronger Jun 12th
27 Jun 18 Comment I like the background that you have added, but feel that the image would be more effective with only one flower head and no other distracting foliage. Jun 12th
27 Jun 18 Comment I like your reversal of the image, moving the sky has stopped the eye going straight to it in the top right corner. Your mono treatment is effective, and would benefit some darkening of the lighter areas. I would suggest using the reverse high pass technique to soften the image rather than gaussian blur, it does not appear as obvious or bleeds into other elements. Jun 12th
27 Jun 18 Comment Your processing has really enhanced the sky, and I like the fact that it occupies over half of the image. Jun 12th
27 Jun 18 Comment I do not like blacked out backgrounds as they do not look natural, I would have darkened, partially desaturated and then softened the background. I am not bothered about the green sleeve intruding, though it could be easily removed by heavier cropping. To soften I use High Pass and invert the grey layer, it works like negative clarity.

27 Jun 18 Comment I am attaching the original file. I had sent into Brad to be included as I feel that if major work is done on an image, it is valuable to see what we started working from. If the final image is mono it helps to see how the total relationships have been adjusted rather than just covering to a grey scale type image. Jun 12th
