On Wordless Wednesday a couple of weeks ago, I posted transformed versions of eleven images (see Wordless Wednesday: Fragments of Color and Light) that I had found in my archives — not a mysterious dusty place in the basement, but a folder of older photos on my computer. I selected and processed these as a group because I liked the way the subjects reflected light. I didn’t use any new techniques, but followed processing steps I previously described here:
Before and After: Yellow and Green (and Lightroom Radial Filters)
Select the first image to begin a slideshow and see the results of these transformations. Thanks for taking a look!
Wow….the ‘after’ versions are so much clearer to me.
It’s a long story but … a funny thing happened!
It’s fixed now, but I accidentally left a radial filter on one of the photos, which blurred most of it, then copied that blurriness to the other ten. The after versions are still a lot different, but the before’s when you looked were fuzzier than they were supposed to be.
That’ll teach me to watch the news while working on a blog post … damn multitasking!
FYI, the enhanced clarity comes from reducing highlights then using the Dehaze and Texture tools in Lightroom, along with a bit of Sharpening.
Thanks for the comment, Chris!

Ha! multi tasking just doesn’t deserve all the hype it gets!
So true!
Tastefully, exquisitely done. Every one.
Thanks! It was fun to do those! 🙂
