Thanks for looking,
Mike
Thanks. I'll have to play with the highlights on those.Great series of shots there. I love this place, so open and spacious, it's great.
#1, #2, #7 & #8 are superb. I love the composition & balance of colour & light, nice and sharp too
#4 seem to have too much contrast while #3, #5 & #6 could do with the highlights being toned down

Another nice set Mike
But I'm still not quite sure what you are doing with the "Lion" processing.
It doesn't look right to me. The others look fine though
Sorry Mike, it still doesn't look quite right.No contrast or clarity, just shadows and highlights, levels, and -11 on the saturation.
Thats a possible too.Some nice captures, but as mentioned, the processing detracts from them. Are you sharpening them but turning the radius too high perhaps?
I think you are over thinking this Mike TBH.
Forget ACR if you are posting here and or elsewhere,
Open as a Jpeg.
Adjust the shadows and highlights,
maybe the levels if required as well,
does PSE9 have the USM option, under sharpen?
(its been a long time since I used it)
If not does it have the smart sharpen?
Either is fine you just need the basic sharpen tool from either, forget the rest.
The radius is fine, at 1.0
and sometimes you even need to push it up somewhere approaching 150.
But the rest of the stuff you just don't need.
Same as Adobe RAWI thought I would post everything so you could see what I was doing...or not lol. To be honest most of it I left alone on the reedit. Whats ACR?
Good manLOL.
I have brightness and saturation adjustments so thats good. I'll stop getting carried away with the pp.
You mean like this?Please please dont start banging your head on the desk in despair
I know, but TBH, don't do it its not worth it, too much can go wrong, if you aren't that experienced at processing just yet.When you sharpen in RAW you can adjust the luminance to reduce noise. I can't do that in USM.
No worries Mike, I'm glad to have been able to point you in the right directionYou've been so helpful to me with my damn lions and you didnt have to so thank you so much. I really am very grateful
I've just realised something, I missed this first time.When you sharpen in RAW you can adjust the luminance to reduce noise. I can't do that in USM.
Good manI'll leave them both alone
I used to use gausian blurr, but it just seemed to cancel the sharpening.
