[Leica] IMG: Stepping Out - Ted, Lluis, Philippe

[Gerry Walden]

Ted,

I obviously respect the opinion of yourself, Lluis and Philippe. Following their postings I went back and re-examined the image in Lightroom on my large Mac, and indeed it showed the there were a number of areas with blocked highlights. They were adjusted and now LR shows no blocked highlights apart from a very small area right up in the tree on the top right corner of the image. Since then the image has been reposted.

What worries me is that you Ted are still saying there are blocked highlights which LR cannot see. I am pretty sure that you posted your comments after I had adjusted the image.

Gerry
