Description

For this image i decided to try and go for a darkened background, minimal vibrancy but maximum saturation levels. Thi9s resulted in a nice effect where only some of the feathers maintained their colours and the feathers that maintained their colours ended up really popping out which is kind of a neat effect.

Program used:

Luminar AI

Editing Done:

So at this stage i more or less have a process down.

1: Applied general template and then processed the masks

1a: Mask 1 was to capture the background only, this took the most time as i needed to make sure all the smaller feathers sticking out were not captured in this mask as much as possible

1b: Mask 2 was for the everything but the eyes

1c: Mask 3 was for the eye only

1d: Mask three was to add a layer of zero saturation to ever so slightly overlap the edge of the feathers sticking out to minimize/eliminate the effect of the background colours bleeding onto the main image of the bird.

From here i went and played around with the settings as per usual
