As I’ve gained more experience with the 400mm F5.6L and CS3, I am finding that I do more processing as my skills have gradually developed. I usually perform most of the following before posting on IIS:
- Levels
- Curves
- Shadow/Highlight for under wing areas (if too dark)
- Tone down the noise in regions of blue skies.
- Smart Sharpen, usually 200 at 0.5 pixels.
- Select eyes if deep in shadow and lighten them with Curves.
Cheers
Dennis
