| Workshop Note |
Hi Pierre, how's it going? I tried a workshop on your picture, to try to improve it slightly.
Edits:
Manual color-balance (R-1,G-1,B+3); Manual B/C-levels: Brightness-level (lowered), contrast boosted (+5); sharpened.
Notes:
In my opinion,
1. Color-balance was slightly off: esp. yellow was visibly emphasized.
2. Brightness was slightly too high.
3. Contrast was slightly too low.
4. Sharpening was reasonably good, but not optimal. Due to the small JPEG file-size (57k), the USM sharpening was nearly showing (clouds, critical; slight sharpening halos, esp. mountain-R, non-USM).
In this case processing the file with auto B/C-levels caused the contrast to become too high, the mountains too black, and the clouds less fluffy (bulky, overly contrasted).
(This may be an indication that the file has not been properly processed (i.e. slight parameter-mismatch caused by adjusting several parameters)).
Proper manual adjustment was the solution here, to avoid loosing the original atmosphere of the photo by overly contrasting it on full-auto levels.
I hope this may be helpful to you.
Greetings, Dimitri.
