- Upon importing the .NEF image into Photoshop, image was given a quick contrast boost
- Pushed the high range image levels towards the center of the spectrum, and applied only minimal variation to the image color curve
- Image was rotated and zoomed to hold proportions and to place the butterfly wings in a vertically symmetrical alignment
- Warm colors were boosted in the midrange and green was boosted in the highlights
- Slight saturation bump again, no brightness alteration
- Image was resized to 800 x 533 pixels and given a resolution of 72 ppi for web upload
- Image was saved in the PNG file format
