Very nice how a few carefully applied workflow steps make such a big difference!

Fantastic to see the original and the postprocessed version! I love the realistic approach but that doesn't mean that postwork would not be necessary. Our human eye perceives unlike the photocamera far more colors and on a computer we have to process the gamma before it comes near to our original perception. Scanning slides requires postwork, cropping, rotating, adjusting levels, but that should do it. Oh yes, brushing away the dust! A digital camera requires only to adjust levels a bit and I guess it is not realistic to expect that this would not be necessary. Look e.g. to the difference in you other Cactus shots. The detailed one has a brightness that is quite different from the one with the swimming pool in the front. When you're looking at it with your own eyes you do not perceive this in this way. But the camera does! It corrects automatically, and there's the problem, because it differs a little from our pupil reflex! My conclusion is that not allowing any postwork is trying too much to adapt our perception to that of the apparatus thus adoring the technology in this camera in stead of focusing on the impression of the photographer. ~ Jan-Carel ~
