So this is the Rawcomp round 6 competition. Download the file below, edit it to your liking and then upload back to 365. Modifying colors, brightness, hue/sat, contrast, crop, etc are all options.

The file is in DNG format for ease with opening with PS, Elements, etc. If you desire to work with the Sony raw file, please post a note to me in this thread and I'll add another download link. Note- the sony raw takes the latest Camera Raw update from Adobe.

Option 1- Download File DNG Format- DNG FILE


Option 2 -Download File SONY RAW Format- Sony raw a99 File

Please tag your entry with RAWCOMP6

The closing date for entries will be Dec 8, high noon Pacific Time. 3 (or possibly 4) entries will be selected for voting.

Hopefully you'll enjoy editing this shot. Remember to tag it when uploading.

BTW, this shot was taken in Portland, Oregon.

Thanks,
brian

For those of you using Photoshop and Camera Raw, notice that this comes up as a Process 2010 image. You might want to change this to Process 2012 (in the Camera Calibration for example) to get the much more powerful and coherent tonal corrections if you have versions later than 5.

[Brian]

@frankhymus Frank, thank for pointing that out. I've never paid any attention to that setting. After a quick google search I understand what it does.

I see on the export to DNG I set the compatibility to "Camera Raw 5.4 or later". Perhaps this did it.

[Frank Hymus]

That would account for it. No problem to change it. @beatnikphoto

I cannot download this...I get a bunch of lines and characters when I click on it that took me 2 minutes to get my computer to stop working so I could go back! I have a Mac. @frankhymus @beatnikphoto

same for me! :o



i use win7 and firefox btw :D

[Brian]

@lynnb @justaspark I just downloaded and opened this on my macbook pro. It worked. Try this, press"Control" when clicking on the link and select "download linked file"

Does that work?

[Brian]

@lynnb @justaspark I should have asked, is this occurring when you start the download or when opening the file afterwards? If it is after, try holding Control while opening the file and choose "Open with." Browse to Lightroom or PS. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[❀ Lynn]

@beatnikphoto No, I don't get that option to download linked file. And when I choose "save link as" my choice is a text file.

[❀ Lynn]

@beatnikphoto Occurs when I click on the link. I will try the save as option and see if I can open it with PS

[❀ Lynn]

@beatnikphoto That worked...saved as .DNG even though it said text file, and opened it in PS.

[Brian]

@lynnb Great! I added the Sony raw option above as well

[Ron Correia]

@beatnikphoto It occurs as soon as you click the link. Like @justaspark, I'm running Win 7 64-BIT and Firefox. As soon as you click the link, it hangs the browser.

[Frank Hymus]

@kannafoot As much as I hate to give Microsoft an ataboy, Firefox doesn't perform for me at all. Internet Explorer 11 has a lot going for it on Windows 7.

[Ron Correia]

@frankhymus I've been reluctant to make that plunge since I've heard a lot of compatibility horror stories with IE 11. (Microsoft has never been noted for downward compatibility.) Since it's not my primary browser, though, it may be worth a look.

[Brian]

@kannafoot try a different browser or from Firefox "right click" on the link and select "Save Link As" It should prompt you with a window to save the file. Once downloaded, navigate to the file using explore and open.


Should work.
