Xernicus Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 One of the things I do after post-processing my photos in Adobe Camera Raw is to continue to fine-tune corrections I made in Camera Raw with the extended features of full featured Photoshop.I rarely click them, but today I was curious how Photoshop would edit my photo(s) if I didn't have the experience in post processing that I currently have, and relied on "auto correction".So here is the original, out of Camera Raw:And this is what Photoshop wanted to do with it:Sure, it looks somewhat cool, but my main goal when taking nature photography is to have it look, well, natural.Just for grins, I threw this into Adobe Photoshop CS2 and hit the automatic buttons as well. I didn't save the results, but they were more natural looking- which would point to a (bad, imo) change in Algorithms used to edit the color hues, saturation, and luminance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic121 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Ohhh, so it gave it a redish hue to offset all the green. Makes sense ... to a program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xernicus Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Ohhh, so it gave it a redish hue to offset all the green. Makes sense ... to a program Yes indeed. I know nothing about how Photoshop processes images as I've never done any batch editing jobs or looked into the algorithms... Now comparing the histogram, we can see that Photoshop is equalizing the output of the R, G, and B channels. I'm not looking at each channel individually because this isn't a photo that requires it, nor is it my best work, and besides... ain't nobody got time fo dat.

Heretic121 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It hasn't touched the B channel, but it's tried to normalise the R and G channels, hence the "redish" hue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
