I don’t know why he turned off DxO’s noise reduction. It’s still pretty noisy.

You should get checked for cataracts. First he lost all white in the white feathers and all black in the black feathers. Look how dark those white feathers are! Also he completely lost any detail around the eye. I’ll agree it’s better than yours. It doesn’t hurt my eyes.

It’s a gross injustice to blame ON1 for pictures you don’t like, made by someone else!!! I’m sure that with ON1 you could produce an end result just as foggy and colorless as you like, but my preference always has been for more vivid, realistic results, unless the specific situation calls for something different. I do know that I’m quite in the minority on that here, but it’s my preference, just as you have yours! As you should know, processing can be done to whatever degree one wishes; it’s just a balancing act, adjusting until the desired result is obtained. However, some software is capable of producing far superior results in the specific areas involved. I believe ON1 to be certainly as good as anything else, and far better than most.

And my cataract operation on both eyes was done, quite successfully, a couple of years ago.

The original picture I posted was done very quickly, and I admit, a bit overdone. Here’s another, more to my liking – I don’t know about yours. I don’t like pictures which look as though they were taken in the fog on a dark day – unless that’s actually what happened. Certainly, I have seen on here some beautiful examples of misty, foggy scenes, and I do like them – because that’s the way it was, and the way the photographer wished to picture it! Unless striving for special effects, I want a picture to be realistic, presenting faithfully in the end result, the image of that which actually was there!

I am not attempting to say you are wrong; I’m just saying that’s the way you like it, but it’s not mine!
