Does it look like I photoshopped this?

[Deja Q]

The water was actually black and the rapids had a rather yellow tint, making me wonder if somebody spilled a tanker full of beer (or took a really long pee) into it.

it's 1/4 mile from a power station... so don't go fishing in this river...

1. Looks like it could use some more work....

Nice pic but that water looks kinda nasty!

2. You should have seen it when I was there!

Like I said, beer or pee... :D

But I am sad. You're not asking how I made it blue. :cry:

3. Well, I know how to use photoshop

so I might be able to figure it out. But if you have some special secret method, I'm all ears...

4. Actually, and this is the saddest part,

I didn't use photoshop at all. Just a couple of polarizing filters...

I also scanned in the negative backwards; the rocks should be facing the other direction...

Photoshop will correct the underexposed greens, with a bit of manual tweaking... it was actually quite overcast and the film I used was past its expiration date...

6. Bushdog ain't mine, but thanks anyway! The other one...

has brighter water (what I was hoping for despite the circumstances) but there is a blue color cast throughout.

With 100ISO film, and on a mostly cloudy day, I wasn't expecting perfection. But with Photoshop, my goal is to enhance the blue while increasing contrast and other exposure levels. Should be easy peasy. On a mostly sunny day, I could easily have achieved effortlessly that blue without sacrificing anything else natively.

Still, photoshop is a nice tool to use. :D
