32 Aug 25 Reply The recent upgrades to Photoshop and Camera RAW caused my computer to start crashing also. The problem for me was solved by increasing the memory from 32gb to 64gb. Now I don't have any problems. Aug 17th
32 Aug 25 Comment I agree with the suggestions. I re-edited the image starting over from the color image (and I do like the color version better myself). This is a subject that I have photographed before, this is just my latest attempt. I do like the darker sky still however. What do you think of my new version? Aug 5th

32 Aug 25 Comment Wow this is just great! Like Tom, I would darken the tree so I did this myself. What do you think? Aug 5th
32 Aug 25 Comment I think this subject doesn't lend itself to good composition. It's hard to identify a specific subject in the photo. Smaller areas might be better shot with a longer lens. Also the lighting is a little flat, maybe this is one that need those full-sun-harsh-shadows. Aug 5th
32 Aug 25 Comment I liked the image with the beam until I saw your revised image without the beam. I like it without better. This was a very good subject for black and white. Aug 5th
32 Aug 25 Comment A very nice image. I like the framing and I like the extreme sharpness between the white and black. A lot of people would have a halo artifact in such an image but you have done a really good job of avoiding that. Aug 5th

78 Aug 25 Reply I think your image is too wide but I wouldn't want to cut off the exhost trails.

I saw someone with almost EXACTLY the same image. They must have been standing right beside you at the same time. This was in the Fort Collins non-psa club.

78 Aug 25 Comment This is a really nice image. I don't have a lot to suggest except that it might be cropped in a little close. I would love to shoot this scene and the areas round it myself. Aug 5th
78 Aug 25 Comment Very beautiful image. I also think the original is better. I edited it and make the horizon level and I added a tiny bit of barrel distortion. Aug 5th
78 Aug 25 Comment This is a fun, nostalgic photo. I remember these places. I agree with others that it's cropped a bit too tight on the right and on the bottom. Aug 5th
78 Aug 25 Comment This is a fun photo. I like taking photos of reflections in mirrors. Aug 5th
78 Aug 25 Comment Nice subject. I think it's a bit over saturated, but then they say, "Saturation Sells". Aug 5th
78 Aug 25 Comment Very nice capture!!!! I really like it.

I noticed that there was a halo around the aircraft and there was a bit of noise so I re-edited your original and reduced the noise as much as I could and removed the halo. I reduced the noise in camera RAW and removed the halo in Photoshop. I then added an Orton Blur to the image. My crop is just to show more of the aircraft, your crop is very nice. If you run Adobe AI noise reduction at 50% on the original RAW images you will substantially reduce the noise and recover a bit of detail.

I'm killing time right now before I get picked up for another photo adventure so I will comment on more images when I get home in a couple of days.

78 Aug 25 Reply I first mask out everything in the original image of the roof on the building that I took the roof from and created a smart object out of it. I then placed the smart object into the barn image and replicated it so that there were 4 surfaces. I then used the "distort" and "rotate" tools to get the shapes. Some additional masking was required in a few spots. I created the shadow on the left lower roof surface with a brightness adjustment layer. There are 4 surfaces to this roof. The big roof was the easiest to do. The edge where the two lower roofs come together was the hardest part to get and I never did get it exactly how I wanted it. I spent about 80% of the time working on that edge. The roof over the door on the left was a bit tricky also but not that bad. After it was all done I used the "burn" tool to adjust the luminosity of the 4 surfaces. I actually still have the original Photoshop file and I would be happy to send it to you if you like but it's 1.01GB in size (smart objects make files huge). Aug 3rd
78 Aug 25 Reply That's how it was on the roof of the building I took it from. Look at the original roof photo which is included. Aug 2nd
