Salut Attila,

You did a great PP job on this one. What an improvement over the original image. Years ago, photographer, unless they were darkroom and airbrush expert didn't have the option of "expressing" their vision and emotion. Today, without darkroom and airbrush talent, we can adjust electronic technology limits to our perception, as long as we can manipulate software and espacially as long if we can "express our feeling and emotion". Without this second element, software can't do anything because software only do want we want them to do. Splendid work.

Hello my friend,
You are at another level now, a level where technical details like too big of a contrast, bad light and such is just small stuff, easy to get over. Now you know how to correct photos, to make them look the way you want them to look like but my question is: Do you know what you really want?
For me this is the toughest question to answer. Now I think that getting to the destination is easy but finding which the destination is, that is hard.
Nowadays cameras get smarter and smarter, the glass is better and better, although not in the same pace. More and more megapixels of information are stored on the electronic chip, cropping can be done easily so it should be very easy to take a great photo, with a lot of “WOW!” factor. Is it? I wonder…
What makes the difference between the WOW photo and the rest of the bunch? Tough question, hard to find answer…
I`m still looking…
About this photo: the workshop does not represents the raw file converted to jpeg, which is totally different from what the camera would have provided if set to “Jpeg” ,not “Raw”.
The difference is that even the in-camera primitive software does some limited adjustments which can render a decent photo if the light is good enough. You will have a white point, a black point, even if those might be off in some cases.
The light you had when the photo was taken really sucked so the poor camera did the best it could…for a brainless device:)
The final product is very much improved no doubt about that.
One suggestion though: when boosting the color in Lab color mode take care of the presumably neutral areas of the photo (especially the clouds) because they might get more colorful than needed because of the overlayed a and b channels.
If the neutrals are not perfectly set in RGB and there is still a color shift when you go to Lab, that color shift will also be “improved”, meaning that it will get worse. A slightly blue cloud will get really blue and I don`t think this is what you see when you look at it using just your eyes…and your brain.
Great exercise, my friend!
Nelu
