Happy New Year to the whole BPN community.
As some of you know, my work has got in the way of my BPN involvement for some time. During the Christmas/New year season I have had a little time to catch up on some image processing and while working on some images of small birds at an African waterhole with a messy surface and found that using Nik Color Efex Pro4 Tonal Contrast to apply negative contrast to the background went a long way to cleaning things up and saved a lot of time. I am sure I am not the first to discover this but I can't find any mention of it on a quick search so have added a brief post on my blog outlining it - Tonal Contrast to smooth backgrounds I would love some feedback and thoughts on this.
