My son had a friend over when I got home from work. They were playing marbles on the carpet in the den. Lots of natural light coming in thru the large window...grabbed the camera, took a few shots, and then joined them in the game. :-)

Yeah, yeah, I know...the letterbox is blue. I did that on purpose...because I like it that way. :-D

Sony IDC - RAW -> TIF

- Levels on both versions of this capture.
- The SilkyPix was more neutral and darker. Took a copy of the Sony IDC version and layered it over the SP copy - set opacity to 42%.
- Merged layers
- Clean up light reflections, a few dog hairs on the carpet, and some purple fringing on the window reflection (light area) of the "Shooter".

Love the confusion of bokeh and marbles.

The colored border ruins this for me...probably by 2 points.
