Not a lot I could do with this... There was a shocking amount of green CA to remove.

Not the best picture I know, I got a bit more out of the clouds.

Thanks to all who took a shot at #1. All interesting renditions.

I decided to go somewhat natural and not bother about the clipping.

My rendition. Not the best in the world, but I tried. :)

I used RPP to process. It only does the exposure, contrast, black-point etc and uses film-like color settings. It's nice for certain shots. The big advantage is that since it doesn't edit real time, its calculations are more precise and you have less artefacts and other errors.

Here is a different sort of task. Ordinarily would have shredded this one, but the pose is unique enough to try a few things to see if it can be salvaged into an acceptable image.

The SOOC shot after cropping.

First run through with some selective sharpening and de-clarifying of the background to give a perception of a sharper than actual squirrel.

and then this one I added a bit of grain.

Here's my Q&D version...

Ack! That's what I get for sharpening before I resize... *facepalm*

Pretty hard shot to save from the bin. I worked at it each time cropping it down smaller but there are parts that are beyond saving. Instead I didn't crop too small, ignored the out of focus parts and just tried to make those not too obvious.

This result I consider average at best but I didn't use anything besides RT.

I better darken it some down I see. Strange those flaws only show up after posting. I checked, must be the scaling here on site, in a bit I can click it and check the full.

I balanced all slightly different. Is everyone seeing this scaled version all distorted?

The normal looks ok. I must have pushed it beyond what the preview can display. 1.5Mb for a 1024*600something is pretty heavy.
