[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 404361, member: 23887"] I think I'm going to like this forum. Post-processing can make a dramatic change to a picture. Let us demonstrate it! Post your unprocessed picture (either a jpeg straight from the camera, or a RAW conversion using the standard profile and no corrections). Here is an example. First, the standard uncorrected conversion using ViewNX 2 software: [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]133971._xfImport[/ATTACH] and here is my interpretation of this picture: [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]133972._xfImport[/ATTACH] I work with Photoshop CC and Nik Plugins, mostly using Nik. I don't remember all the details (though I could probably recreate the processing in about 5 minutes), but I think this is what I did. First, I applied lens correction (geometric distortion, vignetting and chromatic aberration) in ACR and changed the profile from 'Adobe standard' to 'Camera standard'. Then I switched to Color Efex Pro 4 and applied Pro Contrast to deepen and lighten the light, Brilliance/Warmth to increase saturation, a touch of Graduated Neutral Density to balance water and sky and the one I like a lot: Skylight Filter, to make the picture look like sunrise, though it was almost 10 am. I also cropped the image a little to improve (in my opinion) the composition. [/QUOTE]
