Things are starting to bloom here and I took a walk and took some quick pictures. I took them back home and loaded up my trusty Lightroom 4 to see if any pictures were worth while working on. The picture in question I was originally very disappointed with it due to the sky being so washed out blue. I also had under exposed it a fair amount, so much that I originally marked it for deletion. It was pretty bad and missed the mark completely.
Here is the unprocessed picture:
Pretty bad huh?
And here is the edited Lightroom 4 version:
Now I am not saying this picture is amazing, its purpose is to show the drastic turn around from something that was garbage to something pretty. It shows that with just a little RAW processing you can really turn something around.
What I specifically did to the picture was mainly playing with luminosity and saturation of individual colors, killing blues and bringing out pinks and magenta's. I did do some exposure and tint work as well as sharpening but the individual color channel work was what really saved this one.
Its another reason to switch to RAW for those who have not yet.
