Is the txt file helpful in any way ?

Here is my DT 5.6 edit. The image looked a bit soft to me, probably because of the relatively large aperture for a landscape. I therefore tried using teh diffuse or sharpen module to add some lens deblur.

This is indeed a very nice edit but it looks somewhat strange to me: The typical red rocks are not red anymore and the oppressive heat of late afternoon has been replaced by a nice and fresh morning. It’s a nice edit for sure but it feels weird to me because it is not what I remember of the place…

I wonder if this is closer?

Created several targets for 3 total layers in RapidRaw and blended to my taste. I then selectively saturated to taste as well. Not perfect. :slight_smile:
