Fantastic shot! thanks for the processing tips!! Congrats!!!

Originally posted by atupdate: Thanks everyone for kind words and the votes. It figures, the one time I forget to put my processing steps in the comment section and I ribbon. Here are the steps I used. 1. Convert from raw using Raw Shooters Essentials Exposure Comp [+1.23] Highlight Contrast [22] 2. Post process with Paint Shop Pro X One step noise reduction Clarify [+20] USM [radius 50 - strength 15 - clip 3] USM [radius 0.3 - strength 300 - clip 3] Levels [input 0-.94-255 / output 0-241] Curve - slight S curve to set black point Resize USM [radius 50 - strength 15 - clip 3] USM [radius 0.3 - strength 300 - clip 3] The HDR effect came from the very strong clarify action. On most images, using clarify over a strength of 7 or 8 will provide nasty over processing artifacts. The max setting of 20 seemed to work well for this image. Tim
