Richard Hodgman's Art Photographs

After I finished the edit, I was dissatisfied with the result. The white of the paddleboard is bluer and brighter than the snow, which is a tintless gray. It makes the paddleboarder look like he was pasted on.
I went back to Photoshop and attached a levels adjustment layer to the paddleboarder layer. I adjusted red, green, and blue output levels so that the whiteest part of the paddleboard was balanced with red, blue, and green the same and no brighter than the snow. I added another levels layer and brightened the image. I created a duplicate of the background and selected the gutter on the lower right and converted to a mask, and cloned the snow to remove the gutter. I converted the background to a smart object and used a Camera Raw filter to adjust the fringes to remove chromatic abberation. I duplicated the final final image, flattened it, and saved as JPEG 12. I used Camera Raw to straighten the rooftops to horizontal and exported as JPEG 7.
