In The Digital Darkroom; with Ron Lacey.

Week 1.

Durban From Umhlanga Before

Durban From Umhlanga After

Durban Vista.

The picture was shot with a FujiFilm Finepix S602 Zoom at 2832X2128, F8.0 at 1/480s in Fine mode.

I first applied Automatic Colour balance with the standard temperature value of 6500K.

Automatic Contrast Enhancement was set to, Lighter Bias, Mild Strength and Flat Appearance.

I now put in the clarify filter at strength=2.

I put in the Saturation at More Colourful Bias and Normal Strength. This gave me the intense blue sky that I had seen on the day.

I decided against using the Unsharp Mask because I felt that this photo' gained nothing when I tested it on it.
