Edit done in Camera Raw PSE. I added a new sky from a set of skies from On 1 Photo Raw Add Ons by Nicolesy. Duplicated the result and applied a curves adjustment on each copy and masked together for the final result.   Opened in On 1 Photo Raw 2022 this time. Added Sunset 022 sky and Grainy Vignette from Spoongraphics.  |

Interesting way to deal with the haze, Lillias . I especially like the first one as it suggests that the morning sun is burning off the predawn haze. |

I did wonder after looking closely whether I should have looked at Chromatic Aberration as there were some odd colours i showing up along the edges. Back to the drawing board for another look! Tony |

I think I'll go with Tony's observation, PeteB . Definitely an impressive edit. It looks like I could step right into the scene. Keep them coming everyone....... |

Tony Thanks Tony and Helen When I first processed the image, I noticed a “halo” on the edge of the near hillside. I thought that my processing had created the problem, but I then discovered that some of the problems were in the original image. I started processing again and this time used Elements+ “remove chromatic aberrations”. That helped but I should have done more because I still needed to touchup later. I also think my processing (with Nik filters) created some problem areas that are still present …. As usual, this was fun.  |

Not sure about that one, Jim. But it may just be my computer.

After trying the MT painting action on this week's EP I decided to try it for this challenge....  |

And for something different here's whisker wires from Topaz Studio 2 (at about 50%). BTW I did try removing chromatic aberration in LR and it does remove most of the colour fringes.  Tony |

I always enjoy seeing how participants in this challenge approach the creative component. I have never explored that filter but think the swirly strokes have added a nice effect. A bit of a Van Gogh look.

Thank you for this raw challenge. Here is my take. First into Adobe camera raw.  Then into PS Elements 2020. I wanted to create a dramatic landscape with emphasis on the mountains and the sky. Used layers of "Fractalius" with minimal transparency to create a dramatic sky. Added clarity, levels and brightness/Contrast layer masks to selected parts of the photo. A bit of cloning. (Thanks to Foto Frank otherwise I wouldn't have spotted the speed sign!). Added a Vignette and Blake Rudis' diamond gradient action to add drama. Cropped out a little to the right and used content aware crop to add more space to the bottom.  Kind regards Chris |
