Hi,

Returning back to Blackheath images and trying to make them look better. What do you think of them:

Velvia Style copy:

number 2 has much more life and a better looking image. Good contrast and color saturation..........

Hlop, Velvia is an improvment. Try adding an Unsharp mask of around 20% with a radious of 50 to perk it up a little.

The Velvia version seems to have much stronger colour and contrast, was the Velvia applied via a custom curve in camera or "simulated" in PP?

Beautiful area, I'd love to get back up there...

Thanks everyone for your opinions

Actually, first one looks more natural - it was about 5pm, very clodly, dim light. Second one looks more saturated, contrast and bit brighter. So, its natural vs. pleasant I'd say

mudder,
I applied Velvia action downloaded from internet. Probably I've got it here - http://bleicher.home.comcast.net/
