Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
The light direction and quality generally sucked in the 2nd afternoon on the return leg of my train trip last month. Being in deep, narrow, dark valleys, and going through a bunch of unlighted tunnels didn't help any.

I went ahead and shot some video clips out the back window of the train, but I didn't have a tripod with me so I had to shoot hand-held with my camera strap wrapped around my arm.
I used my Nikon D300s set to - 1280 x 720/24 fps.
US passenger trains rock and roll a fair amount but I still got some clips so I could get some practice editing some video using Photoshop CC.

I made each clip a Smart Object so I could use Adjustment Layers and Filters.
I used a Curves adjustment layer and the Camera Raw filter on each clip, added text, fades, etc.

Rendering the video is batch processing a boatload of still images. It took my computer 5 hours to render the 3672 still frames into an edited video.

 
Thanks Keith.
Here is Colorado right now, but no riding on trains this trip.
 
What a neat project! That footage is super close to home.
