Editing a very old pic from Krypteria

I prepare myself for my next Festival. The Mera Luna in Hildesheim next weekend. By checking out the Line-up I was happy to find Krypteria on the list. I saw this band only one time more than two years ago on Amphifestival 2007. I am very happy to see this band again.

I decide to edit one of my old pics again. They were done with my good old Nikon D80. It was an open air and the grain is OK. Here you can see the original pic.

The original is not bad. Ji-In Cho is really a strong wife on stage and is looking very good. But I am not really happy with the colors.

The original is available in jpg only. I did a lot of things with “selective color” “Hue/Saturation” to reduce the color and make an nice red corset and a nice white skin. But you have to be carful that you not destroy the Hair. With a litte d&b I made some litte effects. Better contrast and more sharpness.

The result shows, that you can also made with a Nikon D80 a good concertpic if the gig is on an open-air stage.
