Just a bit of contrast & saturation boost, and some sharpening, from the trees down was all in shadow, so I had to boost the shadows some, and darken the rest.
This was done in LR3 on a crappy laptop display that never has the correct brightness level,
tilting the display an inch will change the brightness by a stop, so I end up having to check the finished image on 3 other displays to double check it.
Hmm, I currently use the lowly program called DPP, and my photos are done on an uncalibrated screen. When I finish the shots on my windows machine, they look great. Then when I boot them up on my linuxbox (also not calibrated), they look terrible. They are washed out, unsharp, and low-rez. I don't know which one is more correct. I should really get around to calibrating my screens.
LR3 might be a good investment, but maybe the $200 is better spent on glass, especially at my level of skill progression.
Stick with DPP for now for basic editing, then export a tiff into some of the free editing programs like gimp.
Yes I'd put the money into glass too, or maybe a nex5/3 for your manual glass.
