- Comment Not bad, but you should crop the image at the bottom (too much boring white, unnecessary shadow in the lower left corner) and fix the white balance (snow should be white, not blue-ish). If you have cropped the image at the top, you could also add a little more there (more space, that is). Also, I would have preferred it if the front of the cabin were lit (maybe 2-3 hours later). --Kabelleger (talk) 20:09, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- Comment Maybe like this? --Kabelleger (talk) 20:41, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks a lot for the correction. Only a question: how did you correct the photo? -- The image isn't cropped on the top. SteGrifo27 (tell me) 19:19, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
- Open in Gimp. Select crop tool (the cutter thing), choose fixed aspect ratio of 2:3. You may need to switch to landscape. Choose crop, make sure that it is locked to the top image border and try not to cut things in half (e.g. stones, mountains or the building on the mountain in the background). When you're done, right-click, choose colors -> levels. Choose red channel from drop-down. You now see a b/w diagram, which shows the brightness distribution of the red color. On the extreme right side, it is 0. Below it, there are three sliders. Move the white one on the very right towards the left as long as the diagram shows zero. Do the same for the green and the blue channels. The snow in the image should now be white (note: this way of fixing the white balance only works well for images that have a lot of snow in them). Click ok. I also played around with colors -> curves (you might want to adjust the black point a little to make the darkest parts of the image really black) and colors -> hue/saturation (in this dialog, select the red color to give the dull red paint on the cabin a little more punch). When saving, enable preview and choose the jpeg quality such that the file size is about the same as before or a bit larger.
- Note 1: If you made an RAW file, you should start again with that one and do these adjustments in your RAW import tool.
- Note 2: I'm not the image manipulation expert. Don't get the idea that this is a good or even the best way to do this. It just gets the job done, more or less. --Kabelleger (talk) 20:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
