Fears about the Level of the Class

Mr "correction"  was before CM.  I selected the people in Photoshop.  I corrected both layers separately. 


Btw- on the tractor, I could say more but I would have ...    it is a double secret machine.  The only one like it or near to it in the US.  I imported it from Holland.  I personally never saw one running or saw any machine before this day.  It "mows" 2 acres a day.

Go on tell us more - what do the 4 seated people do?  Surely they do not do any hand picking?

I love the background colors but the red faces need help...That is one thing we can help a bunch...If you can select we can help correct...

Precisely.  I saw the red faces and could not correct without screwing something else up! 

BTW- I am not a guru by any means, but I did salvage another photo from the same trip.  My son said"  Where did you find that?"  I improved it, but I hope the class will teach me how to fix it.

The attached photo (please, do not correct, I never want to see this again) is the old system in very bad conditions.  Our crew of 7 out produces that crew by a very large factor (at least double).

Here maybe this will help wipe the memory away...

I set a neutral and boosted the color in LAB...

Hi everyone
My name is Julie Moltmann. I live in Hobart, Australia and I work as a registered nurse in paediatrics. I do photography for fun and to keep learning. My husband and I go on holiday every year and that is when I take most of my photos.
I did this class a year ago but have become lazy and just use the same few techniques all the time. Editing photos is also lonely and I really enjoyed the interaction last time. Seeing the way everybody approached things differently was a learning experience in itself. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
I use CS3 (not very well), curvemeister and occasionally neat image. I have recently upgraded to a Nikon D90 from a D70 and I am still getting used to it.
