So where's the description of the techniques you used?! (I'm not
trying to be rude, it's just that the description of techniques, etc,
will be the most beneficial to those of us that can learn from this
competition!)

Thanks,

Heh, sorry.. Using PS CS I slid the shadows all the way down & the
exposure way up 2.5 or something then processed again at zero shadow but
normal exposure and pasted that below then erased out the blown sky from
the first version with a large soft edged eraser. You can see the points
of the buildings are dark where I erased over them. I think I turned
down the saturation a bit also. That was a really extreme image, not easy.




Thanks,

Saved the original to PSD
re-opened it as NEF
cranked up the exposure and a little saturation
saved as a PSD
selected all, copied, pasted into the first PSD
on the lightened layer, Magic Lassooed the sky, deleted it
flattened image
levels, curves, saturation to taste
Gaussian blur 50%, 1.1, 4
stair-step to size
Save For Web at a quality to give file size ~=260K (~=74)

I did one I liked better (changes in process after
"flatten") but I lost it in the save process ...

Any ideas as to why my Photoshop CS did not open this with the raw
converter?

I use PS CS it for all my Canon RAW with no such trouble.

But that 5.0MB RAW3.TIF file in PS CA just opens as a small thumbnail.

Thanks

I like the sky better in Frank's but the rest I like better in Paul's.

I right-clicked on the thumbnail and selected something that resulted
in a big ol' file on my disk.
