Over Processing

The more I look , The more I like the moodyness of the original

Agree with you here William

Whenever one of those "straight from the camera" purists comes out of the woodwork and declares his or her images to be what the camera captured and not processed, it's worth asking these questions:

1. Did you shoot in JPG mode?
2. Did you set the contrast, sharpness and saturation sliders to non-zero values?
3. Did you use a "picture style" or "picture mode"?

If the answer to any of those questions is yes, then the image has been processed -- by the camera, and largely out of the user's control!

You have just changed the way I look at PP, not that I was against it just preferred not to use it too much. But when you put it this way............... Thank you.

Agreed.


And yet to one person something might seem overprocessed, others see as just right, and yet others may even see as missed opportunity ie needs more done to it ! - the issue will never end

Yep - I nearly added "One man's pointless is another man's perfect".
