Well, thanks a bundle, whiteflyer! It's a pity that there was more opposition -?

I'll get a new challenge uploaded asap.

Before and After - The Weekly Editing Challenge
...now compiled into a single, easy to locate thread, that can be added to your subscribe/follow list!

It's a mixed bag this time aimed at attracting a few more photo file fiddlers :-)

A medieval church

Echinops flower heads + bees

A medieval arch in an old churchyard

An underexposed cloudscape

Here is the pCloud download link (external link)

[Edit] Additional cloud shot download link (external link)

Now the obligatory blurb!

Rules are simple:

Download the image file from the current week

Contestants will have 7 days to edit the image and post their edited version to the thread (as many entries as you like)

The owner of the original image will choose a winner

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.

I guess that most of you are enjoying Independence Day, so I will start the ball rolling while you are enjoying yor vacation.

Old photo of the Forth Roadbridge
1. SNS-HDR (mild)

3. Select another old shot of Tobermoray on the Isle of Mull, NW Scotland

4. Replace sky with Luminar AI

No rocket science here - made incredibly easy with the Luminar sky replacement tool. The most difficult part is always selecting the right images to blend.

I hope so too, Patrice.

I have noticed that all forums are struggling at the moment but I will bump this thread from time to time. If that fails I will send out some PM reminders. I think that at least 4 posts are required before handing the torch to someone else.

Here comes my weekly BUMP! We realy do need to get this thread moving again.

Perhaps there is a logjam because my uploaded images don't inspire you. In that case you can download this royalty-free RAW file (external link) from the Signal website.
Alternative pCloud download link (external link)

This is their Raw Files License:
All raw files published on Signature Edits can be used for free. You can use them for commercial and noncommercial purposes. You do not need to ask permission from or provide credit to the photographer or Signature Edits, although it is appreciated when possible.

More precisely, Signature Edits grants you an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide copyright license to download, copy, modify, distribute, perform, and use raw files from Signature Edits for free, including for commercial purposes, without permission from or attributing the photographer or Signature Edits. This license does not include the right to compile photos from Signature Edits to replicate a similar or competing service, or to misrepresent the authorship of these photos as your own original work.


Here is a screen-grab of the image.

IMAGE: https://i.imgur.com/KzswAw5.jpg

N.B. There are no image credits or a location. I suspect it was taken in Glacier NP; perhaps someone can correct me if I am wrong. It is a very long time since I was there!

Hope this one will tempt some of you to raise your heads above the parapet :-)

Renata, please try the link again. If that fails go to the main page on the Signal site (external link), pan down to the 10th row, click on the large thumbnail and then download.

Good luck
