Well to me, they are not such ugly ducklings...but very fine swans indeed.
Thank you!
The important question is whether YOU think the images are better?
Much better yes, Swans a white, not muddy grey, I was more struck by the pose, rather than the colour. Probably not thinking properly and with no critique to hand, posted here.
If I was to get real picky ( if LR allowed?) I would mask the left swan and reset ITS white point separately to the right swan. This could minimise the amount of burn out on the left swan.
Will try it, masking is available but I have only used graduated, full width like sky or foreground. Will try that I have an idea how it might work.
Situations like this are when the three key masking trick ( not avaialble on Mac) is so useful. It enables you to concentrate on the high register elements of the image and leave everything else unmasked.
Is that the technique where you use the ⌠and option keys, I can't remember the keystrokes but I did manage to make it happen a long while ago on some IR images which needed pulling back at the bright end. I think I marked it on the appropriate keys but I have changed keyboards at least twice since then...
Would you remind me please?
