The final editing of images is done in Adobe Photoshop
This image is not mine, it was taken by SeaMowse and put up on one of the Critque groups where I downloaded it and did some post-processing. Original belongs to SeaMowse who took the picture. This is the original:

I liked SeaMowse's original for composition but there were issues. First the background was dominating and second, the lighting on the cat was somewhat flat. In PP I darkened the background and cloned out the bright lights there. This was pretty fast and sloppy and you can see some of the original background brightness above the cat's head as a halo. Anyway, the next step was to add lighting effects. Here I dup'ed the image and darken it using gamma curves (in GIMP). The right (bright) side of the curve was simply reduced by 20% and then an exponedial curve was made to increase constrast in the middle tones. A layer mask was placed on the original and using a large soft brush I darkened the right side of the face (assumed a light source at 10:00) and darkened along the bottom except the paw and progressive darking of the rear of the cat. The goal was to focus attention on the face. Using smaller brush I dab'ed in darkness in the pockets of the curls. I darkened in some areas under the chin and along the inside left part of the ears as well to help with 3D effect. I cloned out reflections in the eyes. Made the tip of nose a bit more orange and brighter. Finally I adjusted final image using s-curve for gamma and reduced the color sat by about 15% (to match the lower overall luminance) and warmed the image up a bit by increasing the red channel and reducing the blue a bit. I knew the result was stunning (well I had a good image to start with!) but didn't think it would go Explored!
Office end of a former meat processing buisness that would process your cow, chickens or just about anything you brought to them, start to finish. A mom & pop buisness that closed years ago and now that mom and pop have passed the family is selling all of the property off to developers.
Night, near full moon that was just coming up, 180 second exposure, handheld light producing device set to red, blue and green, large streetlight behind and to camera left.

With this 201st upload I begin to lose the initial images that I uploaded. "Katie" was actually the first image that I posted here and I am reposting it primarily because it is one of my very favorite ones. I think that I will be posting less frequently from here on out. The good news is that I will continue to post to my blog at glsmyth.wordpress.com, where I have virtually unlimited space for my images.
Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB) is a Swedish mining company. The company mines iron ore at Kiruna and at Malmberget in northern Sweden. The company was established in 1890, and has been 100% state-owned since the 1950s. In 1918 the company purchased the Francis Flower business in the UK which included the GBSS processing plant at Scunthorpe steelworks.
Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) is produced by quenching molten iron slag from a blast furnace in water or steam, to produce a glassy, granular product that is then dried and ground into a fine powder. It replaces up to 70% of the Portland Cement in concrete, and can significantly reduce CO2-emissions. Francis Flower produced GGBS in Scunthorpe on the grounds of British Steel upgrading their blast furnace slag. LKAB is also a significant supplier of highly upgraded iron ore products to British Steel, the first deliveries were made in the 1930’s. Francis Flower was the second largest supplier of GGBS in the UK.
The plant in the near background is operated by Calumite Limited which supplies glassmakers in the UK and overseas with Calumite, a refined blast furnace slag. Calumite is a glassy calcium-alumina-silicate that is used as a raw material in all types of soda-lime-silica glassmaking.
The famous glass house at Lalbaug, Bangalore. I keep coming back to my night photography. This one shot on a Saturday, 630-730 when this structure is lit up as you see it..above.
