Digital Photography Lightroom Editing Tips

http://froknowsphoto.com/digital-photography-lightroom-editing-2

Back again with another Head to Head battle of RAW editing between Greg and Jared. This weeks photo is an interior shot captured with the Nikon D3000 and Nikon 14-24 2.8 taken in Italian restaurant. You will get your chance to edit and upload this RAW file with us, read below for details.

This is a tough photo to edit as you have to decide if you are going to let the windows blow out or try to balance the inside light with outside. I chose to focus on getting the inside processing to where I wanted and let outside blow out. I can say that my edit this week goes snap crackle pop and you will be surprised which slider I actually used.

Greg decide to go with balancing the light inside and out as much as possible. His edit resulted in a more realistic feel which looks like what you would see if you walked in yourself.

It always is a toss up but let us know which edit you prefer. Mine (Jared) which goes bam bam pow or Greg's which goes "hello I look like I should probably look".

Is there any particular reason why you wouldn't do an HDR shot for this scene?

Have you ever used capture nx2? If so, how do you feel abt it?

[MrKnnknn]

Jared, yet another over saturated mod, I prefer Greg's in that sense, although his needs some clarity, it's a bit too dark.

@pioglfr2 awww....i had it on while i was working in LR3....must've missed that part

[DevilsCuz]

I personally like something in between both of them. The whites in Jared's edit are a bit blown out IMO. And Greg's is a bit too dull. But that's just me.
