Power Retouch Simulation Of A Paladium Print

Amazon, Irem and I are in Istanbul and on the rounds of the family icons. Ismet Hala is Irem’s aunt, and the oldest member of the family on her father’s side.

She is a wonderfully cheerful and sanguine character whom I always enjoy seeing. Today was no exception but catching her picture against the light posed some problems.

The image above is an in camera .jpg adjusted in Photoshop using my Power Retouche filters. When an image, such as this one, lacks lustre I always consider what it would like either larger, smaller, or in monochrome and toned.
