A black and white landscape photo of the Grand Canyon. Using Snapseed, I converted it to black and white. Sharpened the photo and cropped it. I added a tiny bit of purple to the black for the distant landscape and a sepia tone in the landscape in the foreground. In my mind I was thinking of a horseback rider from the 1800's finally reaching this vista. I gave the photo a look of that era of photography and coloring.

{Process in Alt}

After cropping, in photoshop i went Image > Adjustments > Black & white then i used topaz labs Adjust- exposure Correction back to adjustment > curves, to give it a nice S shape adjustment > Exposure to bump the gamma up a little, dial back exposure a hair adjustment > levels, to fix the clipping resize 2160x1440

I imported his original into Photoshop, used Nik 7 to desaturate it, used a preset of my own to intensify, made the tone curve more s like, added Red sensitivity, Copper tinted.

Very kind of you, Robyn, TY.

Tbh, I prefer my first #PostProcess cropped version. It was abstract, blue, furry, and fuzzy, lol, almost like a weird macro shot of a hairy spider's gaping blue maw (mouth) and hairy legs. 😆 But then, I'm a sucker for the Rorschach aspects of abstract photography. 💙

I edited this in Photoshop. I brought up the contrast and increased the reddish glow to look more like it is later in the day. I put in a black/transparent gradient at the bottom to hide the protruding rocks and to additionally make it look later in the day. I put in a different sky, also to fit more with the feeling of dusk.

Black and white image of the Grand Canyon. The foreground is darker, perhaps in the shadow of the setting sun, and the background grows lighter, still illuminated by the sun. The sky has a gradation/vignette that grows darker near the edges of the image.

I made my edits in Snapseed:
▫️Used black and white tool
▫️HDR Scape
▫️Crop
▫️Adjusted a number of tonal adjustments (contrast, etc)

#ECK #ClassicMono

A photograph of the Grand Canyon which has been edited to appear it could have been taken at dusk. The image overall had the exposure shifted down, black point and shadows darkened, and clarity slightly sharpened. Two further linear gradient masks were added in Affinity's Development Studio. The first starts slightly below the upper edge of the frame and ends within the more orange-tone section of the canyon's side. The second runs from the bottom up into the orange-toned area. The upper mask was initially aimed at adding some drama to the sky with colour, but was extended into the canyon edge eventually. The white balance was heavily tinted purple, but left on the warm side. The result is deep purple at the top, but the canyon still has the interesting oranges that over saturating it pulled up. The white balance in the lower mask was shifted significantly cooler and the tint adjusted towards purples. Exposure and shadows were also heavily lowered. The development masks stack on top of any other edits made to the overall master image, but are gradients so the effects are most significant at the upper and lower edges of the frame in this case. The orange section is going to have some level of interference from the master edits and both mask layers as they overlap slightly.

First go at the #PostProcess #TonalShift challenge from @rjrock.bsky.social using the provided photo. Such a fun idea!

I edited using Affinity. After playing around a bit to see what colours I could get, I decided to go for a twilight/sunset effect. Details in #AltText

#EastCoastKin #ECK

Reworked in Photoshop and Topaz. Removed color, manual tone shifts to bring out more contrast, sharpness added in Topaz, back to Photoshop with HDR toning and a final touch of slilght posterization.

Changes detailed in ALT

A split-field monochrome interpretation of the Grand Canyon, originally photographed by @rjrock.bsky.social, processed in ON1 with a wet plate texture and low-key tonal treatment. Created in response to a brief to remove the colour — high key, low key, noir, cyanotype, platinum — where does your eye go? The bilateral symmetry creates a landscape that feels lost in time, like an old postcard of a place that doesn't exist, but might.

Thinking: Stripping the colour made the canyon feel lost in time and pushed me to lean into: "An old postcard of a place that doesn't exist, but might."!

A playful interpretation of the tonal shift challenge within East Coast Kin. An xpan crop of the original with part of it flipped and layered above, like a mirror of the Grand Canyon. Colours are mostly false made by various filters.

A little 2001 take on the tonal shift challenge. I don't usually indulge my inner freak like this, so it was fun to explore well outside my usual toolset. #ECK #tonalshift #eastcoastkin #postprocess

My edits of Rock's Grand Canyon image for the PostProcess, TonalShift challenge

Hoping not to embarrass myself here.
This is my #PostProcess #TonalShift edit of @rjrock.bsky.social's photo.

I cropped a bit to remove distractions, went to Snapseed for drama, warmth, and tonal adjustments. What's surprising is that I like the result!

I was going for an ink illustration with a water spill…

Back and forth multiple times in photoshop and Snapseed then a crop on a vignette.

Black and white converted image of stark and rocky gorge. The horizon is a broken line of distant mountains.

#PostProcess #TonalShift #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono My dad took this 35mm slide shot 65 years ago. Inadequate storage left the original colors badly compromised. I converted to #blackandwhite and tweaked the clarity. It used to be gorgeous in color.

Opps.. #PostProcess

by chance, I discovered this account / challenge.

edit colours with Snapseed and added 🌕 on my XiaomiHyperOS Pad 5

well, perhaps a bit of too much 🤭 but winter is back here & all covered in white

hope you enjoy it 🙏🏻

I really enjoyed this postprocess challenge worked with Dxo Filmpack

a nice exercise

Black and white photo of the Grand Canyon.

This is my take on the #PostProcess challenge of the photo by @rjrock.bsky.social.
My aim was to highlight the horizintal lines of this geological marvel.

I used the editing tools in the foto app of my iPhone 16pro.
#TonalShift #ECK

First I have set the image back to a B&W and after that I have play around with the different opportunities in Snapseed on my Samsung S 25 Ultra. I hope to get advices what I can do better. Saw some incredible images from all the others !!

@rjrock.bsky.social have a new challenge for the #ECK #PostProcess #TonalShift, first of all I don't really know if i have it understand it good. I am totally not handy with editing. In this case I have used Snapseed. More in Alt. I am open for any advice and what I can do better.

#PostProcess #TonalShift

I prefer vertical framing - so i did a crop in photoshop then lowered exposure and bumped up contrast... then transferred over to Snapseed for a vintage cross process bw with a faded dreamy feel... Thank you Rock & Jason 🥰

Photo of The Grand Canyon taken by @rjrock.bsky.social and processed by me to look as though it was shot in warm daylight. The image was processed in Darktable using my “daytime” style that I am working on. I increased the exposure because I’ve found subsequent steps tend to darken it a little, then I did some work in Darktable’s Colour Balance RGB, Colour Zones, Filmic, and Velvia modules. I did some work in the Local Contrast module, and then added a graduated density filter weighted towards orange and lowered its opacity a little.

Brief process in threaded post (because I can’t keep to 300 characters!) and a slightly more detailed process in each image’s alt text.

Awesome edit Rock my friend and the #PostProcess #ArtChallenge has captured the interest of so many people! Congratulations ☺️👌🏼

The Grand Canyon at dusk, converted to black and white and then edited into a tritone image of red, orange, and gold.

Thanks to @rjrock.bsky.social for sharing the original photo for this processing challenge. This was my first time using Photoshop. As a scifi fan, I played with the Tritone settings, aiming for something that would remind me of an illustration of an alien landscape. #ECK #PostProcess #TonalShift

Processed the file in Capture One after converting to a TIFF. Created separate layers for the sky, foreground rocks and the brighter middle range rocks. Adjusted contrast and brightness on rock layers. Added a tinge of sepia coloring using the Color Editor, plus minor sharpening.

Not my image - it was supplied by @rjrock.bsky.social

1st try at this new challenge. 😅

First, I sharped the image for improved visibility. Next, I reduced the light balance to maintain focus on the mountains. I then enhanced the contrast between the sky & landscape as I felt the mtns. were too dark.

"A dramatic landscape photograph processed to resemble the surface of Mars. Layered red and pink canyon walls recede into a hazy amber horizon beneath a flat salmon-colored sky with a faint glow on the left horizon. Originally a Grand Canyon image shot at dusk with HDR processing and noise reduction applied in camera. Color graded in Lightroom with white balance pushed to 8500K, HSL panel used to shift blues and purples toward warm reds, and a split tone curve adding warm amber highlights against cool violet shadows. Sky replaced and graded in Photoshop using a hue/saturation adjustment to shift the original lavender sky to dusty salmon. Atmospheric haze added with an overlay blend mode layer painted along the horizon. Shadow tones shifted from cool purple toward warm brown using a luminosity mask and color balance adjustment targeting only the darkest tones. Graduated fog and atmospheric compression applied in Nik Color Efex. Distant cliffs softened with selective Gaussian blur painted through a mask to simulate Martian atmospheric haze and push depth. Foreground rocks removed with a tight crop to eliminate the most Earth-like elements. Titled Candor Chasma after a real side canyon of Valles Marineris — one of the largest canyon systems in the solar system, stretching 4,000 kilometers across Mars."

"Candor Chasma, Mars"

Or the Grand Canyon after a few hours in LR, PS and Nik Collection — depending on your level of candor.

Layered geology, dusty atmosphere, a sky that needed a lot of convincing. Inspired by #ECK members amazing edits.

The Martian

The landscape already had a Martian look to it, so I decided to up the rust and try to make sure the atmosphere fit too. I don't think I got quite there but it still turned out great.

Black and white photo abstract of photo that was altered in challenge to show post process and tonal shift. I shifted too far into abstract and made the image unrecognizable.

This isn't my image it was supplied by @rjrock.bsky.social for the new challenge to alter the provided image. Remove color and proceed with your own choices.

I use Google photos and sketchbook app. I sharpened and saturated image.

Photo of what looks like the Grand Canyon with all its nooks and crevices between the tall buttes or monoliths, their rocky peaks, and their dark, narrow, shadowy valleys. The canyon seems to go on forever, stretching to the horizon which looks purple mauve, as if it's a sunset.

Second & completely diff take (left) on the #ECK #PostProcess challenge using the provided photo (R) from Rock.

This time, no heavy cropping, no abstract goal. Instead, lots of tuning, lots of contrast manipulation repeated over & over, & WB tint/temp changes to get a purple-brown hue. #Photography
