Help to PP my bat pic please

Postby Marvin on Mon Aug 14, 2006 8:46 pm

Hi all,
I took some pictures of bats a couple of weeks ago and I was keen to pp them. They were taken at a wildlife park and the light was very red. I have had a go using channels but am not terribly happy but am not sure whether I can get it better or not. Any help and ideas would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Lee

Did you use RAW at all? I'd love to have a go at seeing how this could be saved :)

Lee - I think what Sheepie meant was it would be easier to have a go at salvaging this shot if we had access to the raw file ..... so much more information than in these 2 shots .....

http://www.yousendit.com/ works OK for this sort of thing, if you've got nowhere else to put a file - upload once, and it's accessible to many.

Cheers
