Just got a comment on one of my entry with "Processing spoils this shot". Made me think, because in some cases this could be right, but if person doesn't know the original image, I wonder how that person would know the original is the better image. Sometimes there are no second chances and we try to save our images by doing a little heavier processing. Taking the perfect photo out of machine is our goal, but it's not the case all the time...
and I believe processing saved my shot in this case :) |
An image might be heavily but well processed, or heavily and awfully processed, or just awfully processed whether or not the processing is heavy. An awfully processed image may have halos (e.g. over-sharpening or sloppy local tone/color adjustments), posterization, weird hue shifts, significant chroma noise etc. The commenter, I guess, wanted to point out tactfully that he/she thought your processing had not been done carefully enough. |
