Wow, great job on bringing all details back cleanly, especially on the trees, very impressive!

Thanks Patrice, I really appreciate that.

I couldn't use my GO-TO RAW processor PL4 due to the camera not being supported.

Ditto!

Kodachrome

Not for competition. I'm not in it to win it ... just killing time.

.... => PL4 for adjusting selective tone, contrast and vibrancy, add vignette.

Any thoughts - anyone - on DxO/PL4 vs. Luminar 4 or Ai - if anyone has tried both? I have Luminar 4 and Ai but mainly use Lum 4 mostly because of its layer tools. (Also use Skylum's Aurora HDR which does a very nice job on some images - even singles; also GIMP and an ancient PaintShop Pro occasionally). I did a trial download of PL4 (now expired) but didn't get to play with it much. Interested in any thoughts/experience. Found this video where an editor uses both PL4 and Luminar in his workflow: https://www.youtube.co​m/watch?v=eyXU4Tf-b40

Haven't used it, but I see a lot of folks using and liking Capture One, which also I haven't used. You may want to do a trial on C1

Recently there was an all day event by Skylum called Deep Dive for Ai. If you have the time, you will learn a lot about what you can do using AI...

Just as an example in conjunction with PS, you can work using smart objects in AI Dont want to pay rent to Adobe, I get it, you can pick up a stand alone copy of PS Cs6 and its yours, no rent Also using PS when your finished working in AI, it takes you wright back into PS, no extra step of saving it to a file.

Sheep shot. My main aim was not to loose definition of the sheep's fleece. Aurora did a pretty good job.

Round-up time; here are some brief comments

Reservoir Dog - good to see GIMP in action and a well placed Jurassic monster but tyhe colours have been bleached.

RDWP(1) - over exposted

RDWP (2) cannot fault this one including some detail in the sheep

rrblint (1) - another superb job (better than mine!). Admirable work on the clouds. Sorry that you could not use all features of PL4; the Panasonic FZ28 did not last long and was replaced by the FZ30. Only the Silkypix RAW processor will do lens correction as far as I know.

rrblint (2) - bleached sheep

navydoc - Kodachrome was extinct when I took this shot, good retro though

'Peano - good menagerie but what happened to the colour?

So it's a tie between Don and Rob. Rob has been kept busy with competitions recently sop I'm going to hand the torch to Don (rrblint) this week.

I didn't try to adjust color. It wasn't a serious edit, just an exercise with copy and paste.

Harry I guess you mean me? Don's not available, so I guess I'll take it.

I got a new lens: EFS 10-18 and went to a favorite location to test it out.

What is that location?

It's replica of THE TEMPLE OF VESTA in Rome.
