Perfect Effects 8 is free only for a day. Any one interested check out this link & get the serial.
Although it says 12th, I guess they are following US calendar so it might last for some more time.

It is not at all smooth on my laptop (i7 4GB RAM) Tried using it but too much lag. Another software by the same company "perfect resize" is good though for enlarging images.

[MENTION=136027]swaggvc [/MENTION] image looks good. Needs some spot healing in left upper side. And clone the wire in corner

I like the colors in the water in prashant's edit... I guess someone could mix the best of all the edits
In the next photomatix update, there will be a preset called TDF ;) we can easily pull the best of all :D

more raw/jpeg images please :smile:

Gen, I wanted to ask you this for quite sometime but somehow missed it. There seems to be spots on your pictures. I assume it's on the lens. They were there on "dark and gloomy" picture and I could see in the last one too...

If even i7 can't run it smooth, I don't think PDC will... :chinscratch:
Swag, ditto on what Prashant said. You may have made some adjustments but it didn't seem so as there are some spots, wires...

The above photograph was shot when I was shooting for a challenge. You guys have seen few of the photographs in that series before in photography thread (?).

I tried to fix the two issues "distortion and underexposure".
Tried to correct the distortion as Amlan suggested. I haven't tried this technique much before. May be few tutorials would throw some light on it.

As Prashant suggested, it may be boring to do landscape back to back. Not many of us posts portrait photographs. When I google if there is any site where they let us download original RAW files for practicing PP work. There are few sites I came across in the very first google search. So I guess there would be tons of sites like that. We can try that too... right?

Here are couple of the sites...

Free RAW
Free RAW files for retouchers

I'm pretty sure quite a few of us shoot portraits and stuff, but usually are hesitant to post it to the internet. I know a couple of people who would throw a fit if they saw their picture here :p

We could do street photography and macros. Will try to post a couple of good ones. Also people do post the jpeg of of the raw when you post the link, that way we have something to compare the final edits to

Thanks. I never really noticed before. I'll check out my other pics.

You really fixed the distortion on this one. Looks much better than your first attempt.

Your attempt in #331 is nice but I think you overexposed the ground.

Couldn't really do much with it. Still need to do something to make it look special.

This is just for fun, I guess it does not look natural.

This is the first attempt.

Gen, That's good :thumbs: Nicely added the green field.
Thanks. I think it looks kind of fake.

No one tried sujoyp's deer yet ??
Here's the first one. The pic is nice, only if the deer was a little less blurry.
