JacksonStone - thank you for it, there are steps what i do with it :)

1) Image - Adjustments - Auto levels
2) Image - Adjustments - Selective color (maximum blue, maximum cyans, +15 black and some small reductions other colors)
3) Manual selection some parts and Image - Adjustments - Replace color
4) Image - Adjustments - Shadow and highlights
5) Image - Adjustments - Brightness and contrast (+25 without legacy)
6) Resize it 1500x1000 cca
7) New image 900x600 and paste it to the right composition
8) Filter - sharpen - sharpen
9) Image - Adjustments - Brightness and contrast (+15 without legacy)

Done, its not ideal, because the light was sharp and i have only a few minutes time for it and no possibilities for local retouches now, btw these foto (not my adjusts) is great!

Thanks, Spiderer. I think the lighting in that one of mine is tricky. Here's one that I think works better, maybe. I already posted it in the CSO thread, but I might as well here, too.

I just realized my Photobucket settings were degrading the resolution of my uploads. I think I fixed it, so here's another bite at the apple with a slightly different photo.


I think the same might be happening to me, how did you fix it in photobucket?

On the upload page, look for a very small link under the Facebook and Twitter ads that says "Customize your upload options." Mine had been set for 800x600. I switched to 1024x768. I now size the photos to considerably larger than this, so when it's uploaded, there won't be much if any resolution loss. It seems to be working. Unfortunately, to preserve the original size of your upload, you have to upgrade to the pay version.

Thanks. They're all in the "Sunday CSO" thread, which is more on point. I feel like I'd just be showing off starting another thread, but I like the idea. :wink:

I was joking with Kodiak on the phone today that perhaps we should just send you our watches, have you take awesome photos of them and we pay for you to send them back.

Alright, thanks spiderer and JacksonStone for the tips. I took a few pictures of the new CSO and played around with photoshop and posted a few in the Sunday CSO thread. Pretty much amateur night :oops:

Its a nice idea, but complicated ;) I was taken some shots for my friend from my home watch forum forum.chronomag.cz, but they are from Czech Republic like me and sending watches to me was cheaper and faster then from USA and rest of the world ;)

Yesterday we had the putting exhibition for an golf Holiday in Florida - 3 putts i have best and last one - it has cca 3,5m i play and the ball stops 2mm before hole and i wasnt 1st but 5th :( now i need to save money and my time and i hope that will fly to USA in next 2 years and maybe have time to meet some people which loves Breitling watches from BS :D From chronomag i know half of all most active members (meeting, sale, buy, replace watches..) :)

I like 1 and 3. I think 2 is a little overdone for my taste, to the point where we lose detail in the dial.
