reinstalled, **** cs

Looks a bit flat.
Tonal balance could be improved.

Nice colors though.
Nice calm feeling.
Love the helvetica

tried a couple of gradient maps, manual dodging/burning and blurring/sharpening but didn't turn out too well. think I just need more practice

That's all you ever need.

Looks lq due to over-sharpening.

Think that might be the high pass filter since I didn't keep any of the sharpened layers

no high pass and higher opacity on grad map:


hm... still looks grainy, but I like it better

Oh, man SM ditch the border it's not doing the sig justice.

It's not so much grainy....it seems the colours are distorted, like when you save something as a .gif. This is where I would assume something like topaz would come in handy but does Topaz even work with Ps7?

Anyways I really like the colours I would love to see more of that maroon/purplish through out the piece. Love the bold focal as well, draws your attention right from the get go.

I've never heard of topaz :p But looking it up I'm sure there's an outdated version that works with ps7, might look into it though might be too much work.

W/o border:

w/o border + purple:


Definitely agree without border is better, with the purple it feels kinda conflicting between warm/cold whereas originally it's clear it's cold. Though that might be because I added purple with selective color by dragging down cyan, might have to find a better way to do that.

'Thanks for the Helvetica Font.
It was really useful here.'

Haha. My eyes still work.

Anyway, nice sig! I prefer the very last version you posted.
