Comments on: Freaky RAW Processing: From Sunset to Moonrise with Adobe Lightroom http://regex.info/blog/2007-04-20/429 Not a photo blog, but sometimes I play one on TV Fri, 29 Aug 2008 21:39:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.12-alpha by: Graham R http://regex.info/blog/2007-04-20/429#comment-13967 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:48:30 +0000 http://regex.info/blog/2007-04-20/429#comment-13967 I have to say, i love your site, it's one of the ones i poke around when i have downtime at work, somehow i missed this post. The results you got were wonderful, and let me realise how much i'm missing in lightroom, any "over the top" post i was doing in 16bit psds, now i have a few presets to give similar results in lightroom (similar to your settings actually) The "uber warm sunset" shot is an effect i do alot by hand in photoshop, i massaged your settings and came really close to something perfect. It's the type of effect that lends itself really well to a photo of a brightly coloured, expensive car in a not-so-good neighbourhood. http://www.flickr.com/photos/grahamrose/2230245067/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/grahamrose/2230245903/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/grahamrose/2231038738/ are three shots i gave it a go on. <div class='jfriedl'>Thanks for the kind words. It'd be interesting to see the originals these came from. I like the lighting your <a href='http://www.flickr.com/photos/grahamrose/2230245903/' rel="nofollow">the 911</a> a lot, and wonder whether you have a shot of the lighting setup. If so, you might consider posting the triplet to the <a href='http://www.flickr.com/groups/552101@N22/pool/' rel="nofollow">lighting setups</a> pool. —Jeffrey</div> I have to say, i love your site, it’s one of the ones i poke around when i have downtime at work, somehow i missed this post.

As we can see from this example, techs FX do not necessarily translate into (subjective) visual FX as expected (my case, obviously, others may have seen immediately that D was more contrasty).

I like the A and D, since I'm not into visual FX. One thing: from D, it seems that a little sharpening would do good to the image (you don't mention any in your post), since the silhoutted part would be more in evidence. In fact, A looks sharper, but it could be just the result of increased contrast. Nice post. I like the A and D, since I’m not into visual FX.

Martian sunset has a weird but not unpleasing atmosphere to it. I would vote for H - Moonrise and A - Stylized. Martian sunset has a weird but not unpleasing atmosphere to it.

Oh, you’re right about the duck cartoon. Gotta love it!
