Life has become a bit hectic lately, so for this week’s challenge, I have only the after and before to show you, but I can tell you what I did to get from point A to point B.
First, here’s the after:
Now the before:
As you can see, the image was almost completely black and really useless. I used the RAW converter in Photoshop to gently lighten the image, then I used a layer to removed a couple of blemishes and another layer to add an iris blur to focus on her profile.

That was a great save. The after photo is very nice.
Thanks, Mary!
Nice work Nancy.
Amazing how much detail you have brought back. Just goes to show the advantages of shooting in RAW! Nice portrait. 🙂
Thanks, Katie!
Whoa!!!
What Katie said 🙂 Great save that wouldn’t have been possible with a JPEG. Lovely after shot, Nancy. I’m intrigued by the iris blur!
Thanks, Stacy! This is why I love shooting in RAW.
Great save. Was there much noise you had to contend with?
Thanks, Emilio. Not a lot. I shoot with a Nikon D610. For this shot the ISO was set at 200. The beauty of shooting in RAW is that you can save photos like this without creating a lot of noise.
Great save.
Thanks! This is why I love shooting in RAW.
