Jack--Point taken. Fortunately, I am shooting these for fun and not for a paying client.

Desaturating is not something you want to do to control color fringing. It will affect other colors as well. If processing in C1 they do have tools for this alone.

I may download a test version of C1 5 (or use the v 4.x which I still have) and try it.

Of course, I could also deal with the issue in PS and use a layer mask in order to apply desaturating selectively. Not something you would do 300 shots but for the 3-4 here doable.

GMB--There is no reason to go to PS to do selective desaturation, as it can be done directly in Lightroom 3. Just use the Adjustment Brush Tool, with the Auto Mask box selected. Move the saturation slider to taste. Only the areas you wish to change will be affected by the brush. All other colors and areas in the image will be unchanged. It just takes a couple of seconds.

My point is selective desaturation isn't something you should have to do at all in the course of dealing with "normal" images like these...

Bill, those Banff shots are nice too. I bet they'd look really good in B&W!

:D :D :D

Seriously, that second capture is a portfolio print -- :thumbs:

From a test drive with the S2 several weeks ago ...

Thistles blooming in an abandoned lot next to a factory.

Bill, Stuart, thank you for your kind comments.

You too, Jack - here is your very own version! (Incidentally, the white spot on the left is a loon, clearly seen on a 30 inch screen but more of an artifact on the web!)

I'm in Yosemite teaching a private, customized workshop so not shooting a lot. But I managed to grab this frame this morning at Tioga Lake. Elevation here is just under 10,000 feet. Posted from my laptop, so colors may need a rework when I get home on my big box. P65+, DF and 80 LS:

Keith,

i love this one , Fantastic!!

Many thanks, Paul.

It's rare to have access to the interior of ruins and even when possible it's a case of taking your life into your hands when you do. Having said that, and in this case, I was delighted to have the opportunity!

Keith,

I had missed that one initially. Nice use of the full 28 for framing that one! I love old broken down buildings, but in our area it's extremely rare to find one with much of any color at all. Where was that one taken?
