Detail Cartooning From Large Crops, Oak Titmouse
Greetings. From time to time I study some aspect of processing. This image is the result of something I'm currently working on involving preservation of detail in large crops...(a bit of a long story). Here's the processing on this image of an Oak Titmouse eyeing my backyard feeder.
Cropped 88% of the pixels for a 1.7 MP image.
Two NR passes on whole crop then selectively on bg.
Uprezed by 300% w & h.
Detailed with Topaz Adjust first, then Topaz Detail
Nik Silver Efex Pro for contrast and structure
Topaz Simplify BuzSim, small simplify size, monoline fine edges
Reduce to BPN sized tiff shown here (I was quite surprised by the appearance of the fine feather detail after the size reduction)
Export to jpeg
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
