They look like raw files straight from the camera. They look unprocessed to be honest with you.

I did a small amount of processing... What do you feel is missing?

 

[Robin Usagani]

need to be warmer and maybe a hint of dark vignette IMO.

Like so?

That's better I think.

Yes...they need to have the Clarity slider cranked to MAX, then take the SATURATION slider and max that out, the vignette it with PC Vignette 1, then PC Vignette 2, then burn the corners down a bit more, then goose the tone curve. Then they will not look like elegant, subtly-processed raw files designed for those who can appreciate natural color and understatement. If you also have Vibrance, set that to about 87.5. And finally,apply Unsharp Mask around 500% at .8 pixel radius, threshold of 4, and then save as a 65 quality JPEG. Make sure to hit SAVE FOR WEB, so your EXIF information will be stripped, so nobody can see exactly HOW or WHAT they were shot with!!!!
