Same RAW file, 2 very different images. The color version would probably more useful for something like Wikipedia, but which one do you prefer as an image on its own (and why)? I made the BW version after reading Michael Freeman's excellent The Complete Guide to Black & White Digital Photography (I think it was Colin who suggested it to me → thanks a lot!). It took me quite a while to come up with something I actually liked, so I'm very interested in comments and opinions regarding the BW conversion.

- El Grafo, not sure if this is the feedback that you wanted, but the color version has nice nearly complementary pastel colours, so I don't think it is a good candidate to test a BW version. --C messier (talk) 18:39, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
Luminosity clipping in Photoshop
I am beginning to use Photoshop for post-processing (I used DxO Optics pro so far), and I have problems with highlights and dark areas clipping. For this picture
I have carefully set values and curves so that there would be no clipping, except for some blown highlights on the windows, and very little of it. Drowned (black) areas are negligible. However, when I save the file in Photoshop and it gets displayed in Lightroom, more clipping appears. If I export to jpg and then opens the jpg in DxO, the clipping shows very clearly.
So I would like to know if, in your view, luminosity is clipped beyond what is acceptable, and what I am doing wrong. Of course, any other comment on the picture is welcomed.
Thanks. --Albert Bergonzo (talk) 17:54, 14 September 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albert Bergonzo (talk • contribs) 17:51, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Albert Bergonzo wow, few mounts and no answer, sorry for that. Did you solve the issue?
- Well, this could be happening for many reasons. One advice is to remove the highlights at LR, and them use PS for more sophisticate work.
- LR really reads raw files, PS transform they in a tiff file before edit it. Even in camera raw.
- Are you using sRGB as a work space? Or Adobe RGB?

- Thanks Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton for your reply. I generally use sRGB as a work space. The workaround I found for the moment is to use DxOopticsPro, which I find less intimidating. --Albert Bergonzo (talk) 19:03, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
