CC Requested: Post processing technique (before/after)

To the left is the RAW image straight from the camera, to the right is the modifications I did in lightroom. Thank you for any feedback!

as far as the editing goes, you did a good job making into a nice looking shot.
it seems like you got all the gear, just need work on the skills and, maybe a little more interesting subject matter.

I like the crop you did on it but to me it is a wee bit too saturated. But nothing wrong with it for taking 15 seconds. Not sure what the hurry is though.

Thanks for sharing.

So the hurry is for trying to process a batch of photos, for easier culling then the ones that I really like to take out. When I shot JPG it was easy to see results, with RAW when it's imported with no processing it's sometimes harder for me to see.

I can agree on the saturation, I think I was trying to got more color into the mailbox which doesn't have much to begin with and think the tree got a little to much. Thanks for the feedback!

Great improvement. Can't you just use that one to adjust all the rest - at least for a starting point?

I think so, but I need to spend some time learning light room too. I know how to apply a set of settings on import, but I recall seeing a video somewhere where somebody copied the adjustments from one picture and applied them to several others.

Your talking about batch processing using the sync feature..just make your adjustments to a picture, then select it and then holding ctrl button down select all the pictures you want to apply those settings to, then click on the sync button...

Thanks! That's a huge short cut! I've still got a lot to learn about Lightroom, it has some really cool features like that. I just got to the point where I'm making good use of the snapshot features. I have several different 'versions' of pictures I print out and stuff when making frames of pictures of family for other, the snapshots are great for that! Or for keeping a great B&W conversion or color version.

I also started messing with virtual copies, which makes more sense than using snapshots for different colots, but maybe snapshots for different sizes still *shrug* I don't know, just glad I don't have hundreds of these to do like some folks It's a labor of love, but with five kids, there's to much labor already so time to spend on my hobbies is very limited, so need to make the most of what i do get!
