For this exercise we need to take any JPEG or TIFF photograph open it in photoshop elements convert it to 16bit and then make a curve, this is a bit of a problem for me I have photoshop elements 11 but I can neither open the photograph in 16 bit ( although I am wondering if it is already showing in that) or find the curves control, I was under the impression that this was still missing from elements, so the only thing i can really do with this exercise at the moment is read through everything and try to make sense of it that way, I do confess I would much rather work it out step by step but I am unable to do this at the present time.
I always shoot in raw and jpeg and now have always know that raw files need to be 'processed' what I didn't realise was the work that happens 'behind the scenes in the camera' to help capture the detail that will be needed later,
I have since found out that I can do this exercise the notes are slightly round in the folder and I can't convert to 16 bit, but I do have a kind of curves and having located this I set to work with the image of a boat taken back in the summer.
The first one is the original JPEG and the second one has been darkend then lighten again to try to recreate the original picture, I found this interesting but quite challenging to do it may be because I don't have the proper curves facility or it maybe because I haven't had a lot of practice with it, you can see the noise in the darker shadow area of the boat, but there is not too much on this image.
