Re: [APML] Witchhead Challenge

[Brian larmay <power_windows4789@yahoo.com>]

Hi Scott, its been awhile since anyone has done one of
these, so I thought Id give it a shot.

http://www.astrobri.com/apml_witch_head_challenge.htm

I messed with the levels, contrast, layers, replace
colour and selective colour in PS 7.

"Replace colour" I only boosted the blue channel to
highlight the witch head and so on so forth to bring
out the background.

I then brought it in to Picture Window to give it a
gaussian blur to reduce the grain.

I dunno, what do you think?
