Retouching: Speakers

This was another regular frame sensor image taken in low light with fairly severe detail pixelation. Recovery to print and web ad-ready completion was the aim.

After correction for poor exposure, and shifting out the ambient light for simulated studio lighting I was able to change the starting point of the image. Further work with selective blurring and noise reduction of pixealation, then resharpening, and in some cases repainting, the image was brought to a 300dpi ad-ready state.

The final image saw a dramatic transformation to print and web output readiness, which can be better viewed in close-ups.
