Here's something you may find fun and interesting. I've posted a pic of a Pilatus taking off from some unknown airport (my memory issues again)  Wink In this exercise, we'll try to enhance and improve the image's color and contrast balance using Irfanview's "Enhance Colors" feature. Make a copy of the image you see here, open it with Irfanview (or Photoshop if you prefer) and then click Image>Enhance colors and use your talents to modify and shape the colors, saturation, brightness, gamma levels, sharpness etc. of the pic. See if you can edit the shot to create a more realistic  and/or dramatic look. You may be quite surprised to find what a huge difference a bit of color correcting can do to improve and enhance your screenshots...try it! Post your results here on this thread.  Smiley

Here's my try... Just messed around with contrast and lighting, added a bit of lighting. I also used separated contrast changes for the plane and the background... all done in photoshop I'm afraid...

Cheers,
