[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just found that I could download the image, so I played around with de-haze on it in Camera Raw. I?m new to this aspect of Photoshop, and maybe I?m just a hayseed dazzled by the big city, but I?ve found that some images can be changed in remarkable (and sometimes good, often very bad) ways with de-haze. If you haven?t tried this ?filter? on this image, you might find that sliding the control around in the ~50% range will make the clouds look the way you saw them. The slider will take you from a whiteout at -100% to neutral at 0 to apocalyptic at 100%. ?Clarity? and ?Vibrance? have their own effects to contribute to a mind-boggling volume of phase space in image manipulation in Camera Raw. Sorry if I?m preaching to the choir. ?howard > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Howard L Ritter Jr <hlritter at twc.com> > Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Incoming storm - Rocky Mountain National Park - > May 2018 > Date: May 15, 2018 at 22:00:15 EDT > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > > Well, it?s more than ?okay?, Adam!
