Year old black bear cub signalling for a little quiet!
From just completed Chas Glatzers Black Bear plus workshop.
Having problem coordinating sharpening through LR, CS6 and Nik as images have been way over sharpened. Purpose of this post is trying to figure out a good sharpening Strategy.
Feedback very much desired as I try to figure this out.
On this image, sharpening on import into LR4 was turned off. In LR4, cleaned a few things in the hair and toned down the green luminance of the grass.
Exported as Smart object to CS6, then called Nik define, Color efex 4 50% of default values for TC, white neutralizer. Then Detail Extractor selectively on eyes and to lighten dark areas. Saved image
Back in LR4 RC2, Selective sharpening on bear only using adjustment brush at 50%
No sharpening applied when exported for the web using LR4 export with BPN preset. (comparing results from Save for Web in CS6 as had been suggested to me previously)
5d mark III with 500mm f/4
1/200 f/8 ISO 800
Manual with exposure taken earlier off the grass similar to where bear chose to lie down and scratch.
as a Postscript, it was Great workshop with Chas freely offering his fountain of expertise. Great field of Photographers that are more than willing to help me climb the ladder... and shooting opportunities galore. Special shout out to Sid Garige who I met for the first time. Very talented and gracious in offering help. Cites the many that helped him become the fine photographer he has become so he is giving back.
