Umek :REMASTER:

[Jack]

Umek is one of my most popular Pieces but i was never happy with the starfield and some other aspects so i decided remaster the raw files (thankgod i still have them!^^)

I redid the colour the engine lights the starfield the rays the shadows and added some topaz toneing and detail enhancments
also added another exposure level to the hdri just to bring out a little more detail in the dark spots and resaved the raw 8bit tiff as a png so quite abit of tweaking lol!

I like this newer tweaked version alot more and i think i can finally call this piece of artwork finished!!!

I remember your original! Looks very nice, I think I'll look at both images back-to-back, so I can spot the adjustments you made

This one is much better. I really like your work.

Nice.  As I scrolled up the large version, I could hear Star Wars music.  How did you do that?
