thanks Max...
i think the most valuable lesson i learned from this is the amount of detail that can be teased out of an otherwise bland image with a few clicks and drags of the mouse... even in my uneducated hands...
the processing was pretty basic...
the original frames were taken with VLounge, 7 frames in total... then pasted into PSP as layers...
i spent a little time re-arranging the order of the layers to hide the joins as best as i could... made a couple of small adjustments to the brightness/contrast of individual layers and the joins all but disappeared...
from there it gets a little fuzzy... i tried a few adjustments, hit 'undo' a lot, and generally played around...
from what i remember the adjustments that i kept were...
High Pass Sharpen
Levels
Curves
Brightness/Contrast
Unsharp Mask
Highlight/Midtone/Shadow
not necessarily in that order...
i would have liked to tone down the whites a little more, but that eluded me...
i will keep that in mind on my next attempt and reduce the contrast on the raw images???
cheers...
Ian...
