Neste momento algumas páginas são disponíveis somente em Inglês ou em Espanhol.

Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th century Bavarian castle. Located in Germany, near Hohenschwangau and Füssen in southwest Bavaria, the castle was built by Ludwig II, King of Bavaria, as a retreat and as a homage to Richard Wagner, the King's inspiring muse.

The conception of the castle was outlined by Ludwig II in a letter to Richard Wagner, dated May 13, 1868; "It is my intention to rebuild the old castle ruin at Hohenschwangau near the Pollat Gorge in the authentic style of the old German knights' castles...the location is the most beautiful one could find, holy and unapproachable, a worthy temple for the divine friend who has brought salvation and true blessing to the world."

Unfortunately our photos are not always in a high quality, but we can impove them. For example we have a blurred image like human memories. Using AKVIS Enhancer and standard Photoshop tools we'll try to make our dark photos clearler and better.

Step 1. Open an image in Adobe Photoshop.
Step 2. Call Akvis Enhancer from the main menu of your photo editor. Filters->AKVIS->Enhancer. Here we get the plugin window with the default settings. Below you can see the improved image.
Step 3. Press the button to apply the result and close the plugin window.
Step 4. We have removed the smoke, but the image became colorless. We can make our image brighter. Choose from the main menu of your photo editor Image->Adjustments->Hue\Saturation and set the value of the Saturation to 25. Press the button Ok .
