whoops a bit late today!!!! Love it or hate it I,m having a bit of fun in the old PP'ing. Part of Madchesters Industrial heritage just across the road from what was the one and only Hacienda. Just a big old Industrial pipe under a railway viaduct. So I bet you're asking yourself, how did he do it and more pertinently...why???

Had a flat exposure on this so I did 2 duplicate images in Image>duplicate. Named the first Image Pipe and did a levels just for the foreground, did a highlight / shadow on the 2nd layer to even things out a bit, could have done a Image> adjust> exposure and fiddled with the offset and gamma to get the same kind of thing( you know there ismore than one way of skinning a rabbit).. Held shift as I dragged one on to the other. change blend mode to difference to check alignment and then switch back to normal, add a mask and paint to reveal just the pipe from Pipe layer to the next layer. Slight gaussian blur into the mask and check edges for any 'blowing' Repeat but with the top layer forced into black more for that Bokeh feel + a slap of Gaussian blur to taste. The rest is just a channel mixer monchrome with a new layer in Color mode, splash paint about tickle the opacity and wonder what on earth I did all that for!
