Nice work, amazing how much of the highlights you were able to recover. Clean work on the background too!

Here’s one, not of a vehicle, to switch it up. Almost everything was done during the RAW conversion. My only goal with this edit was to try and recreate the natural and wide range of colors and contrast my eyes had experienced. As you can see the shot out of the camera was dull, very much unlike the real thing.

I know this edit isn’t as intensive as the others in this thread but I found it amazing the amount of detail/colors I was able to extract from the source image in a simple RAW conversion.

Also I’m going to make a request for more rig shot edits if one of you guys don’t mind digging one out. The more complicated the better :lol
