Before and After - The Weekly Editing Challenge, 6 April 2018

...now compiled into a single, easy to locate thread, that can be added to your subscribe/follow list!

Rules are simple:

The winner will copy & paste this post and include a new downloadable image link


The new image must be unedited / SOOC (straight our of camera), full-resolution, and in a RAW format, ie. CR2, DNG, TIF, etc (Dropbox works well for uploading and linking these large files) The purpose of this game is to be creative and learn new editing techniques. You must give some insight into exactly how you went about editing the image. For example, increased shadows sliders, reduced highlights, local sharpening, white balance adjustment, specific filters used, tone curve adjustments, etc. Comments and/or questions regarding the edits are encouraged.

Okay, HERE is this week's challenge.

SOOC:

Canon EOS 600D / EOS Rebel T3i / EOS Kiss X5 • 1/400 • f/8 • ISO 400

How do you open a .dop file? Photoshop will not open it. Does it need special software?

It’s a jpg.dop. Download and remove the .dop and open as a jpeg.

Sorry guys, I linked to the wrong file. It's fixed now, try it again.

Children playing without electronics. Had to give it a vintage vibe. Used textures, filters and adjustment layers.

A vintage color feel with Film Simulation Kodak Ektachrome 100 in RawTherapee 5.4

Benitoite I love the Ektachrome Sim but I like the old-fashioned lIook of cfdesigns version for the win. It's all yours cfdesigns.

Thank you rrblint.

This weeks challenge was taken in TN. An old rustic barn that doubles as a cowboy church on the weekends. Good luck everybody: https://www.dropbox.co​m …akjbcrj/_MG_060​5.CR2?dl=0

RawTherapee 5.4 edition.

New background, added horse and man, cropped to square, added a few curve layers (dodging, burning, custom vignette), B&W conversion...

Mr Kelly graham, that is awesome.
