The gradient map

Assignment: Extreme Processing.

 

OK, I am not much of a processor. I crop, I sharpen, I sometimes lighten shadows or adjust contrast. That's about it. So this assignment took me way outside my comfort zone! I decided to take one photo and process it three different ways. I don't know if any of them are really "extreme" - but they are for me!

 

For this one I used the gradient map filter. i chose one of the options (I don't know which) that gave this blue/yellow contrast. I sort of like the yellows, but it is so unrealistic for me that I don't think it is something I would choose to do most of the time.
