Hi Peter

Do you have CS3? If so, PM me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the .psd file which will show you the Layers and what I did on each one. In summary, I used Saturation, Exposure, Levels and Curves on separate Layers to boost the colour and make it “pop” on my uncalibrated LCD. The top Layer was a selection of the central brighter region which I feathered in so the changes were only made on the selection and not the entire image.

At the risk of incurring the processing wrath of Jase, I kinda just played around as I’ve yet to establish any defined processes, due to my absence at the ‘scope over the last few months; or is that years!

Cheers

Dennis
