The second and third images are outstanding. As for the first, it is a fine image but Northern Lights shots are now becoming rather blasé.

Totally amazing images! Stunning! What a beautiful town!

Distortion never really bugs me much. But haloing does.

#2 has quite a bit around the Mt.
Quite easy to correct if you want to...

#3 has more of a burn around the mountain which is a bit more pleasing to me, but feels just a hair heavy. But again, that is an artist rendering, and it is your image and if it makes you happy then that is that!

Congrats on all of these!

So, all that halo'ing came about after I added the contrast in the Nik Collection. I am not able to bring it back at all. I tried a curve layer, some hand painting, and also contrast correction. Any advice?

Nice. I like the laid back way you just said "here's the images" in the first post. I can't imagine the effort in PP, esp the first image. Or were lighting conditions just that well balanced?

Avoid Nik like a plague and get the Photoshop skills up!

Nik is 8 bit and extremely damaging to our files. As much as I loved Silver Effects Pro, it was 8 bit and causes a ton of artifacts and even posterization in files. I get these files sent to me all the time (its one of the parts of my career - to prep images for fine art print for photographers - or to teach them how do do it masterfully) with Nik effects added, and we see huge problems with theirs use. If one does do not care too much about their master file quality and only shoots for web, then it is usually not so much of an issue.

No I did spend quite a bit of time in post getting them all that way. I don't really like to post and share here because some of the pictures and people here make me want to sell all my gear and take up golf!!

Vito, these are really great, and 90% of people who appreciate them don't comment, but these are hard not to like

That's why you're in first place this week for voting for favorite photos

Great images! Extremely well composed and captured! When using Nik....do you carefully mask out areas you don't want affected? That and using a "light touch" with the sliders can help a lot.

I do the effect in Nix, then use a mask in photoshop and just paint it in or use a luminosity mask. Sometimes I just go a global effect like the pro contrast and also change the opacity in conjunction with a mask. I didn't realize how destructive it was until someone pointed that out to me.
