Retouching and recovering pictures in photoshop can be done in many ways, now here i have a simple portrait of a old man with lot of detail on his skin, saw him captured couple of pictures and back watching them on computer and found detail din't show that great!

Here i integrated my workflow with Photoshop and Lightroom.

Now its time to fine-tune the picture, though we have lot many ways to edit this i use a simple way 'HDR Toning' with a simple method local adaptation by increasing detail all the way up with little bit of strenght and radius brings out real detail, there we end our picture in photoshop and get it to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the best tool for a photographer to make things beautiful, i highly recommend if you din't give a try go and download a copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 that got Camera Raw 7 works like magic (i always say this). After processing the picture here in Lightroom little more and bit lens correction, ended up here.

Last few days i came across with a picture which have pretty old fascinating building

coverd with lot of cables around and on as you see it

Remembering content aware technology in Adobe Photoshop CS5, just loaded in it

went around the picture and content aware fill works like as magic asusual and saves lot of time, but this picture here also made bit use of patch tool and some peice to cover up the street light there

Our final output would be like this

Duplicate the layer by Ctrl+J

Desaturate the below layer using Ctrl+Shift+U or gradient map (Black at Position 0 and White at 100)

Goto filters - Other - HighPass (move the slider to get a median highlights and shawdows)

and its over now

simply change the Blending mode of the above Jpeg into "Overlay"

give's an astonishing output.
