As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, there can be quite a difference between the image captured on camera, and the final finished product. In this example I needed to improve the detail in my fire-eater, including some separate processing on the fire to make it stand out, as well as separating him from his background, which additionally had a prominent tent post that I had to carefully excise from the final image. Quite a lot of trouble, but the final image was worth it.
