Yeah, the granite had quite a lot to do with it. There is more to it than that. The colors look slightly off and the lightin is peculiar. I have had a quick go at one of your shots with Photoshop although this required dabbling in unfamiliar territory. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/s6dbcdd34m...3-EES.jpg?dl=0 I first had a go at haze in Lab mode and then applied individual curves to R, G and B channels. Then I found it beneficial to slightly increase the exposure and gamma. Finally I applied smart sharpening. I should also add. until my X-Rite i1 arrives I am having to rely on the original factory calibration of my monitors which are currently set to AdobeRGB. This should really only affect the greener greens of which there are few so it shouldn't be too wrong even when viewed in sRGB. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
