In Praise of Google Nik Collection
I just thought I'd show what I am able to get out of a dull cold day and a seemingly dull image. The left one was a Raw conversion in PS to get back the underexposed shadows. Then using different elements of Nik collection I am able to get to the righthand image. I first used Colour efex pro4 to increase the tonal range, then Viveza2 to pick out the individual centre elements to increase brightness, contrast, and structure enabling a focus on the field boundary and gate. I finished off by painting with Define2 to reduce some noise that had crept into the sky. I just love using the power of this software, its made a huge difference to the way I see an opportunity that I may otherwise pass by.
