Highlight recovery challenge on yet another Cologne Cathedral shot

Processing Play Raw

Nice shot :slight_smile:

  • In RT, if you check the raw histogram, you’ll see you have some clipping indeed; so yes, next time, under such conditions, do make use of exposure compensation in camera. Ideally, set up a custom WB based on UniWB (refs: uniwb multipliers question, and Guillermo Luijk)
  • I’ve done an edit in RT and used the Z5 DCP “neutral” flavour from Camera Raw — I don’t think I’ve reached the smoothest gradients ever, but oh well…
