Started with PSE15 - straightened, horizontally rotated. Then, Color Efex - vintage film preset #1. Then, water paper sketch filter, boosted saturation and sharpness in PSE15.

Hi Michael, I know this location very well and I'm surprised how unsettling it is seeing it flipped. Your treatment works well and as with all the others has made an improvement to the original.

I started by selecting lighter colors and replacing with brighter colors. I dodn't like the look, so I converted to black and white in Silver Efex, then applied "oil paint" in PixelBender software in CS5, applied dual toning and vignette in Silver Efex, and finally sharpening in Photokit Creative Sharpener (available for free. See Mary Doo's post at Free EXCELLENT PixelGenius Digital Software... ). ppc.thumb.jpg.08c7064c922f1369b5ef5246c1f1bcaa.jpg

Used the de-gloom tool in Lightroom, just kidding, Clarity, Vibrance, Saturation+, used adjustment brush on sky with de-haze. Applied gradient on bottom right - blacks, shadows, saturation. Radial filter on lower left with same adjustments as gradient. Unsharp mask in Photoshop.

The de-gloom tool worked a treat.

Gerald, I see from the file info you used a Panasonic LX100. Does having a premaritally attached lens keep the sensor dust free?

Hi Sanford, sensor dust is no longer an issue. The main benefit of not having interchangeable lenses is being able to fit your entire kit in a coat pocket. When I had a Canon DSLR I found myself with five lenses, it is so liberating not carrying excess kit.....................GC.
