Show Us Your RAW Conversions, BEFORE And AFTER

Yea, I was amazed at the detail that came out of her shirt, especially!

Thanks Tony, I dont have the fancy LR screenshots like most of you guys. The main adjustments were Blacks and Contrast pretty much maxed and then just some curve adjustments in PS

Hey Chris, screen shots are pretty easy to put together and toss out there, and are an important part of this thread! If you want help in doing it just let us know!

And thanks for the contribution!

Amazing work...14 yrs old? Very good.

Thanks a lot!
Yep, just 14

Hey, gang, some time over the next few hours, this thread will have logged 888,888 views -- is that some kind of "lucky number", or just a recognition of how much you all have contributed to so many here on POTN!?!

As long as I am not the 666 viewer; In a comparative editing both of RAW and JPG, of the same everything situation, I wounder how much is cons and pros of each format.
I really prefer JPG for the convenience of size and ease of handling be camera and in transfer to hard drive. Then I can do a lot with so called Loosely format JPG, at least enough to be happy with result. I know I am talking to all RAW fans here, but then: Am I the only one feeling this way?

Outstanding shot and work, Jay, but, erm, we need the Raw processing only (with the LR settings), my friend (review the intro)!

Some new edits from some summer shots.
-I know the cut off heli sucks but it was the only shot I had with such a composition.

Silver EfexII and a bit of Viveza,adjusted levels and opacity as well as some dodge and burn in CS5

Maybe you should have read the intro for this thread. This is about RAW processing only. No plug-ins and no PS work.

Sorry mate, like that picture nonetheless....

I agree ^^^^ It is a great picture.
In addition to what is said about the terms of this thread, might also want to consider the image posting rules for POTN. 1024 on the longest side.

Processing sure makes a difference
