New Wallpaper: "Incoming"



I've been overwhelmed by the huge amount of views and faves this wallpaper has received at deviantART since I uploaded it two weeks ago. "Incoming" was taken from the 29th floor of the TPI Tower in Bangkok two weeks ago and portrays the skyline of South-East Asia's top metropolis at dusk. At this particular time the cloud formation was quite impressive, however with Photoshop I was able to make the colors even more dramatic. The key was the level auto-adjustment feature. With the elliptic marquee tool (feather setting: 50px) I selected a small part of the sky (maybe 1/6) and auto-adjusted the levels by pressing Ctrl+L. This procedure was repeated on the other parts of the sky until I got the final result (and it required a lot of trial-and-error). Power Retouche contrast and black definition plug-ins rounded up the color enhancement, while the Noise Ninja plug-in kicked some noisy ass and sharpened the image. Feel free to download the wallpaper at http://nxxos.deviantart.com/art/Incoming-88646651.
