Thanks, i used black velvet as background. Same stuff that i use for flocking tubes.abpho wrote:That is such a beautiful stack of a very clean specimen. I wish all my images turned out this well.
There was some out of focus haze around the outer edges but i did a quick photoshop job and masked it out. I see now the wing could have used some more natural looking masking but i get bored so fast and try not do do more than 10-15min of retuching in ps
In Zerene i used one Dmap output and one Pmax output where i filled out some of the details from the pmax and the better contrast from the dmap with a fairly large brush. Pretty easy target as it does not have alot of hairs or other small details overlapping.
I have ordered an Iris to try if i can get the oof haze under control by taking one last shot with iris closed down to get more pleasant oof behind the subject.
