Going through my old photos as I watch more videos on ON1 editing and I decided to see what I could do with this:
The picture above is a jpg straight out of camera.
It was a rainy day in Hakone, with a decent view of a torii gate, but a low fog on a rainy day made for less than stellar lighting or background. That's my only excuse for the quality of the original image.
Short of sky-swapping, this is what I did with global and local adjustments, slight straighten & minor crop, then denoising thrown in for the heck of it:
So does the red gate "pop" like I wanted, or does it just look over-saturated?
I also tried raising the shadows, but didn't like the results, so I abandoned that.
