PeteB , interesting edit....haven't done mine yet and kept thinking that it probably would be similar to what has already been shared. And then I viewed yours which to my eye seems strikingly different than the others (except for Andy's). I think that may be due to the green of the trees. Thanks for opening my eyes to how different this scene may appear due to subtle differences in editing choices. Hi Helen Thanks for your comment. I looked over my edit to see which affected the green trees the most. Once in PSE, I used average blur to remove the color cast. Then in NIK, I applied the filter ClearView which removes haze, mist etc. Those two edits seem to have made a big difference. Hope that helps explain my edit |

Hoping to achieve a somewhat different look, after a basic edit in Camera Raw I used the following NIK filters: Vintage Film....Natural fade Pro Contrast......Dynamic Contrast Back in PS, I did a bit of dodging and burning using a 50% grey layer on overly. Added a very slight white vignette and a small amount of high pass sharpening. 
I am finding I like the Mac Display P3 color mode. |

One more - trying out the new ACR and Photoshop - not sure what I did different but I did do a sky replacement and added a couple of tweaks in Color Efex. 
And for a different version here's one of the artist style neural filters at 50%  Tony |

I did do a sky replacement The soft tones of the new sky seem to blend nicely with the tones in the landscape. And for a different version here's one of the artist style neural filters at 50% Interesting how the artist style neural filter introduced peaks to the mounds and a whole new range in the background. |

One more try as it's a good image to try new things on. The latest Photoshop Camera Raw has a new Profile called the Adobe Adaptive Profile which unlike other profiles uses AI to make selective changes based on the image. It's still under development but I was quite impressed with what it did - I did make a few other small changes including removing a couple of distractions but it did a much better job to get started. It's one of a couple of things that are now in PS CC Camera Raw but not in Lightroom which is different from the way things were.  Tony |

Thanks for sharing that, Tony. Will have to check it out.

I tried an "artistic" rendering. I used the stamp brush filter in Topaz Impression and added a hint of the texturizer from the filter gallery. Added the image to a white background and used a mask to reveal parts of the image. Added a frame.  |

I'm gonna go out on a limb here... Personally, I think the original is pretty good and doesn't really need to be fixed. But that's just me... jmt

Were the changes additions to the image? The reason I ask is because of the current discussion about authentic images compared to synthetic images {AI} . Of course there are also hybrid images, meaning photographs that have parts created by AI. More than likely, this forum will need to make a decision about how AI images will be identified. An excellent discussion can be found here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b-h-podcast-authentic-photographic-documentation-vs/id1052860428?i=1000670787440 |

Interesting comment, jim0004 . Certainly appropriate to add to this thread. Tony What kind of changes were made. I wondered that as well. |

Interesting comment, jim0004 . Certainly appropriate to add to this thread. Tony What kind of changes were made. I wondered that as well. There’s a good summary of how it works here. Basically it just does automatically the kind of things you would do manually such as adjust the exposure and tone of the foreground and the exposure of the sky and does it using its library of similar images. In my mind there’s a big difference between AI used in that way and AI used for example to add people to an image who were never there. Probably a discussion that belongs in another thread. Tony |

Tony Thanks for the link. After reading the summary, I decided to check on software I use, DXO Pure Raw and I found it also uses AI for noise reduction, color correction, etc. Interesting.  |

Thank you for this challenge. I have been inspired by all the creative edits. Here is my take. First into ACR to process the raw image..   Then into PSE 2024. Did auto levels. Added several different preset layers of "Fractalius" with blend mode overlay and varying transparency to "relight the scene" Added a brightness/contrast layer mask to lighten the trees. Also a brightness/contrast layer mask to reduce the overall contrast after working with Fractalius. Stretched the image to the left to remove part of the slope on the left. Used the warp tool to stretch the road and widen it to the right. Used content aware crop to add a few millimetres to the right of the frame. Added a vignette. Kind regards Chris PS Edited original post. Replaced previous image with version Sharpened and denoised with Topaz Photo AI.  |
