<<The flutterby shot is an example. From the camera, it's not particularly
impressive. Cropped about 40%, linearly, (16% of the original frame area),
treated with Topaz Sharpen AI twice, once for sharpening and then for focus,
Brightness, LCE, Curves, then <<masked FocusMagic after downsizing for the web,
it's pretty darn good looking.
Flutterby did turn out very well apparently due to expert PP. A bit of heroic
manipulation but it did work. I am very curious what Sharpen AI does better
than FM and how you developed that work flow. (I now vaguely recollect my
GPU choked on it) Big Foot can resolve the scales if I nail the focus but the
higher resolution not of dramatic utility at this display size. Cabbage
whites can have yellow on hind wing, BTW.
Impressed, Mike
