Before And After

[Guest Tess32]

I have noticed that the Canon 70-200 L f/4 seems to 'throw' green and yellow tones in sunny conditions. Has anyone else noticed that? I find I need to adjust the tint a bit on sunny days or the shots are too warm.

Yep I have..

I thought it was just me. Especially in bright sunshine. Can't do much if you take a dog shot at a show with the time though.

Then you adjust the white balance and the raw coverter throws in an ugly tint to compensate.

Ok Luke this is what I like/dislike

first one - I like the rays coming down from the sky but the sand looks too yellow to me, unnatural for a cloudy day. Original photo does nothing for me, its too grey, maybe I would turn it to black and white, dont know.

second one - the bridge and the dogs colour look more natural in the original , but I like the vignette effect in the ps one.

Third - same expect the water in the original looks shocking hence I like the colour of water in the ps one more, plus original needed to be cropped, and you have done that nicely.

Forth - same as second

Fifth - same as 2 and 5 and whatever is in the background that is yellow doesnt look natural, neither is the colour of the grass its nearly fluoroescent.

Sixth - same as 1, the ps one looks arty to me and I like it more then original as original is too grey. But ps one is full on ps, its not making the photo look natural.

As I said - I like what people can do in PS and this is what I like here

All in all I like some changes but some things look artificial to me.

You ruined the magic!

I love looking at how people edit their photos, some I like, some I don't, as someone mentioned earlier It's all

a matter of personal taste, I like to look at pics as though they're a blank canvas and then the edited ones,

as a finished work of art.

Liked them all after edited, except for the second last one, no particular reason why either,

Nice work on sharing some tips, just wished they would sink Into this brain, It's always seems too

complicated

ETA: Coz I think I worded it wrong

Thanks for the feedback everyone (esp Monelite and RottnBullies for telling me what they don't like!)

[Ashanali]

I liked the edited versions of most of them... just they are a touch warm for me. (but only a touch).

then again... I like photoshop

His tongue is hanging out LOL

Seriously though, I love the location with the bridge, so those are my favorites, where are they taken? I also love the photoshop work on those photos.

I prefer the original of him running with the ball in his mouth, I think with the vingette (or however it is spelt) distracts from a background that works perfectly for the photo with the trees framing the dog

Thanks Helen!

I think I over did the editing on the one running with the ball.

The bridge is a little foot bridge in a little park called Thompson Street Reserve in Coffs Harbour.
