Who here that posts nature pics uses photo enhancing products..Photo Shop etc..?
Basic post-processing is pretty much a standard requirement for images out of digital cameras...they produce averages of everything...(not as good as film in the truism department)...I use a little free software package that has a few basic 'sliders' to tweak brightness / contrast / sharpening.Who here that posts nature pics uses photo enhancing products..Photo Shop etc..?
Great pics!Here is an example. This image was taken around 4 years ago and just so happens I am using it in a project at work this week.
The first image is the original. Not full size but this is before any post processing.
This second image I have made some tweaks to. I bumped the saturation and contrast in the sky, grass, and dog. Used a burn tool to further enhance the grass. Pulled the middle slider back on the levels so the shadows did not black out. Then ran a very slight unsharp mask on the whole image.
You can pay monthly for Photoshop and Lightroom through Adobe's website. It cost's about $9 a month
