Rocks are hard and harsh physically. The image is gentile, meaning it doesn't have any hard blacks and whites in it. This is not necessarily bad. You might not want a hard, stark portrait of a person. Long story short. Hard subject, soft print meaning that it needs the black in the shadows to be really black and the whites in the highlights to be really white. You can probably let everything else fall where it may. How you fix this in Lightroom I do not know. In Photoshop Elements, which is all that I use, I would experiment with setting the black and the white points in levels. There. How was that for a perfectly useless answer? :-) Barney Barney Quinn, WK3Z C: (301) 775-1386 H: (301) 654-0938 > On Oct 21, 2014, at 9:22 AM, Tina Manley <tmanley at gmail.com> wrote: > > OK.
