Hi Tristan

thanks for the comments. Actually I allready shopped these pictures to do exactly what you explained. It looks like you put them through the exact same filters, but just one more time. The originals were quite a bit more "foggy green" and the filter I used kind of crystalizes the water and sharpens the color. I use microsoft digital image pro 10 I usually filter the underwater shots with "levels auto fix" and maybe "exposure auto fix" The Levels really does amazing things for clearing up and bringing rich color to underwater photos. I filtered all of my underwater maui shots with levels auto fix. My son was sitting next to me and every time we ran a photo thru it, we would yell "WHOA!!!" :lol:

The other problem is the camera flashed. That usually aluminates all the particles in the water. Its hard to get the camera settings specified on a moments notice when a fishs' life is hanging in the balance :D

Anyway, Here is the original photo so you can see the progression from the original, to the first cut, to your cut.....fun stuff!

Here's a few underwater pictures taken in Hawaii. The first picture is the original, and the second is a photoshopped touch up. They were taken with my friends Canon cameras with waterproof housings, he also photoshopped these pictures.

Boy what a big difference in the first two photos !!

What did you do in photoshop to improve them that much ?? :shock:

Very nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jhaquett]

Yea I have the same question, how do you do that?

[jbird]

I have a feature in my photoshop program called "Levels auto fix" It does exactly what you see in adams shots.

Anyone know the best "photoshop" for Mac?

[Adam Grace]

Abode's "Photoshop" is a great program, one of the best IMHO.

Yeah, auto levels usually does a goos job but sometime I take full control when the auto levels doesn't work for me.
