Aperture: Wild Image Adjustments
2007-08-22
I'm finding that RAW lets me do some pretty wild things with images. This is a fountain back-lit by the sun:
It came from the image below by setting the Exposure to -2 and the Saturation to +2:
I also took this terrible sunset-ish photo by pointing the camera in direction of the setting sun and clicking the shutter:
By cropping and playing with the adjustments so that they looked like this:
I was able to get a more artistic result. Notice how the exposure is set below -2. How did I do that? The slider only goes to -2, but if you keep clicking on the triangle in the numeric control or type a number in you can go beyond the sliders.
The only real details that are visible are the power lines, so I called it Electric Sunset (click to see full size).
