Actually, this is the reason why I often opt to use adjustment layers and layer masks when working on certain files. It takes the guess work out of having to replicate certain steps and settings :D

Agreed... One good technique in Photoshop is to practice "Non-destructive editing"... Avoid flattening or rasterizing layers in one's workflow... You'll never know when you'll need to revert. :)

Or save it as a different file (keep an original)...

Hey man, why don't you show us the photo. :D

As far as I know, there is no plugin to see the history or steps taken to achieve final image. History isn't recorded elsewhere after you close Photoshop.

The quality will also diminish if you just make the size larger. Too bad, there are details on the walls which just can't be fixed through sharpening.

Maybe you could have someone closer to that location to shoot the same exact picture for you?

i have the original raw file which is ok. me and several guys are attempting reverse engineering on the finished image:)

By the way, I've seen your photo on the latest issue (4th) of DPP. :D

Maybe they have a hi-res copy when you submitted it.

the one in the magazine was the reverse engineered photo and am not quite happy with it. the original one only exists in the web.:(

I see... The IR experts can definitely help you. I'm clueless about IR. :D

Most IR post processing is similar up to the channel shift step. After that, the color correction is a personal choice. Try playing with the magenta, red and blue saturation levels and hopefully you get the original color you liked the most. Good luck.
