Fancy columbine in our front garden

Diffused outdoor light, black foamcore behind, tripod, IR release

ACR3, CS2 smart sharpen

To get the background to be PBase gray was a bit of a chore:

   - ACR3 CRW to PSD using Adobe RGB profile
   - Adjusted curves and levels to make the background black
   - Magic wand background, non-contiguous, inverse
   - Copy selected foreground pixels, paste to new layer
   - Convert Color Profile to sRGB
   - Assign Color Profile to No Color Management
   - New Layer behind plant on transparent background
   - Eyedropper gray from an alt-printscreen of a PBase page
   - Paint bucket eyedroppered color


other sizes: small medium original auto
