Ten years ago, I made this view with my Lumix LX3 of a LUAS Green Line tram crossing over a boat in Dublin’s Grand Canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night I imported both the in-camera JPG and the camera RAW files into Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I scaled the in-camera JPG, but made no changes to the appearance of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I did implement a series of adjustments to the camera RAW file in order to improve the overall appearance of the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice the difference in sky detail and the relative contrast of the canal with the surrounding scene, as well as improved color temperature and color saturation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
