Why could such an image be hard to process? Interestingly enough the original out of the camera was pretty good, it only lacked some punch. Normally this means that I open the RAW file, do to it what’s needed, and then I’m done with it. Not so this time.
I don’t have a profile for the LX5 in Adobe Camera RAW. Normally I don’t care, I make my own colors anyway, but this time I wanted exactly the same as the JPEG, only with a tiny bit more …
Guess what: I gave up and I worked on the JPEG 🙂
The Song of the Day is “Autumn Leaves” from the 1966 Barbra Streisand album “Je m’appelle Barbra”. Hear it on YouTube.
