I would check on your updates. Brand new as of this morning. I will keep trying. Adobe has even added the two most recent RAF formats for the X100F and the MF GXR in their most recent CC updates for ACR 35 days ago, and I have the latest PS CC (2017) update as just 14 days ago. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Here is the RAF if you care to try. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pj7bmsr7vabc9dt/_DSF4603.raf For some reason none of my (up todate) Adobe CC software can open that file. :-( I had no issue with that. What I do have an issue with is the blocking in the shadow areas. The BW conversion was done using NIK. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jm920a15es..._DSF4603.jpg?d l=0 While the B&W conversion might have been done using NIK (I assume Silver Efex Pro2), what else did you do to create that Mess? Specialized Peter sharpening perhaps? Sharpening was 4.2. Your version has no black and is far too flat. My issue is that as soon as I went for a bit more black, I had blocking. I suspect that the DR is too much without using some form of tone mapping to avoid this. Anyway, I am really tired as I have been up since 4:00 AM. I was recently diagnosed with COPD and went through a battery of testing. Sorry to hear that. Just something I will learn to live with. Is that a general COPD, or something specific? We don't know yet. What sort of prognosis for arresting progression with therapy? From my understanding, it cannot be reversed, just symptomatic treatment to slow the progression. You have my sympathy. I have been suffereing from it in a mild way for many years. Fortunately only my right lung is significantly affected and even then it is not too bad. Welcome to Anno Domini. Were you ever, or are you a smoker? I have not touched tobacco in over thirty five years. I suspect it is from second hand smoke. I would have gone about a B&W conversion with a somewhat lighter hand, even with NIK Silver Efex Pro2. This rendition was done in LR CC + NIK Silver Efex Pro2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t03g89o9psq61te/DSF4603-E2.jpg -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I used the dehaze filter and some fiddling with color temperature. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3kaynb57vi...-4603.jpg?dl=0 I understand that you just used dehaze and temperature adjustments, but the entire color balance seems out of whack to me. I also understand that you haven't visited Yosemite, and are not familiar with the character of the rock in the Sierra. The dehaze does a contrast push which emphasizes saturation. Then add, what to my eye is way too much warming, and it becomes unnatural and garish. When I said that is was a subdued, and overcast day I meant it. This appears to me to be significantly different from the original SOOC image. It is. Just for the fun of it, I set one of my monitors up to sRGB and left the other at AdobeRGB.
