This is the next step in your road trip through the Western US states: Zion.
Gorgeous landscapes, but very hard to find a beer, “thanks” to the mormons…

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looks somewhat strange to me: The typical red rocks are not red anymore and the oppressive heat of late afternoon has been replaced by a nice and fresh morning.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…

Yes, much 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.

Yes, if people are testing your program. I think more people would be willing to try it if there were a prebuilt version available. (I don’t want to sound blunt or snobby but I’m no good with words sometimes)

There is no pre-built version only because my code is not ready (yet) for prime time. Hopefully there will be a “private beta” next month.

Even though I like the original composition, I decided to lean into the diagonals created by the mountains and the tree on the right by cropping it.
