Tonight's Sunset had a Really Cool Beam of light coming up thru the clouds . But no matter what I tried in processing Either in JPEG or Raw this was the best I could Do without Either distorting the Ray of Light or loosing it . Can anyone tell me what I can do to highlight or bring out the beam of light Better , The camera could not capture what the naked eye did for sure in this case . I do not have photo shop all I have is Canon DPP That came with the camera . Thank You for any Advice

I tried Snapseed on my Samsung S7 Edge. I used the HDR tool.

I don't have that , but HDR on my computer program seemed to really blow it out and distort it . That looks like a pretty cool app I will have to get that app and try it out for my galaxy S8 .

I ran thru Photoshop and just used auto white balance and it popped out a nice blue sky.

If you have Elements, create a layer and mask everything but the beam. Then duplicate that layer 3-4 times (Ctrl+J). This will enrich the beam.

Don't think my software has that

If you have any version of Photoshop Elements, 10 or newer for sure, it works as I've suggested. If you have Photoshop, the capability is there but the commands might be slightly different. Any other kind of software I can't help with.
