Old town wall-selective colour-Headland..

April:2015:

I recently sent a link tutorial on how do selective colouring with gimp, to a viewer.. i then decided to attempt the tutorial for myself...for the first time!

 

 

processing method: using gimp,qtpfsgui,windows microsoft visual studio 2010.

I Opened gimp 2.8, ,used the clone stamp tool to tidy up certain grass area's clicked normalize to stretch the light levels equally over the image next i used the "soft focus" tool from the fx foundry within the gimp tools, then exported and saved as JPG

 

 

As with all my previous hdr uploads i duplicated image x3 the 1st (original) duplicate i kept as normal, 2nd duplicate image i used the levels tool and adjusted the level from the middle to the left of the graph to 0.5 to make the image "Underexposed". next, opened 3rd image used levels tool & adjusted from the middle again to the right of the graph to 5.0 to make the image "Overexposed", next i opened Qtpfsgui free hdr software and loaded in the images as followed. 1. Original, 2.Under exposed, 3. Overexposed. clicked hdr tonemapping button,saved image as JPG, then opned up microsoft visual studio 2010, clicked auto edit, to bring out the colour & tones of the image, then closed to save.

Next i reopened Gimp, loaded the image, then followed the tutorial.
