Editing

Photographs in this gallery have been edited using Adobe Lightroom software. Edits typically consist of color correction, cropping, and sharpening. The goal of the edits is to make an aesthetically pleasing picture while preserving, as much as possible, the image as originally seen by the photographer. This means that I generally avoid composite images, removal of significant objects, extreme color adjustments and more ‘artistic’ interventions. I am open to some forms of compositing, such as focus stacking or use of multiple exposures for dynamic range, which improve the appearance of the image while remaining true to the original scene. I do not use sky replacement.

A small number of pictures in the gallery have been processed using so-called “AI” software, such as Topaz Photo AI. Reasons for using this type of software include upscaling small images for web use, correcting blurring or focus issues, and removal of noise. “AI” processing programs can introduce details not present in the original image, so I try to use them very sparingly, and mostly only in cases where an interesting picture is marred by some technical issue such as blur or noise.
