    Enhancing Photo's

    But that is the challenge Phil, tis like fishing for Carp, Would be much easier to go to an over stocked lake with fair to middling sized fish, yes you will catch and you will catch lots but there isnt that challenge not like going to an old estate lake where there is a couple of huge fish, that you have sit and wait for, weeks at a time.... but when you do catch that fish its the best buzz ever and its the same with photography for me.. when I do get that shot I want its the best feeling!!

    I totally aggree Louby, Well said.. :good:

    Good Evening all, Hope you all had a good Christmas. :D

    I thought i would start this thread to get your opinons on " photo enhancing"

    I know that people who take photo's in raw format have to do a certain amount of processing to achive the right finshed photo.

    I take in jpg format and havent adventured over to raw yet. I dont really play around photo's i like them to be as natural as possible.

    Today I went out to take some sunset pic's and was very disappointed by the results, due to so much cloud. But after playing around with a few of the photo they looked 100 times better.

    Before

    After

    All that was done to the 2nd picture was i put a graduated tint (red) over the sky and it looked so much better. ( the programe i was using is Picasa 2)

    So my questions is How many people on here use programmes such as photoshop etc to enhance there photo's? and is it the right thing to do?
