G'day, like to know what you think of the PP on this. Does exposure/colour look right on your side?
Processed in Aperture, sharpened in
PS3.
ORIGINAL
PP
Thanks...

The exposure of #2 looks better, but the colours look artificial.

Cheers, that's the kind of info i'm after, I thought a similar thing even though the saturation is quite small. Back to the drawing board...

Im going with what others have said as well, to me the water in #2 in particular blue...but no ocean blue...if that makes sense. Perhaps a polariser may have helped the shot. *shrugs

Well i've seen it on a few computers now and with different browsers and it does look pretty fake in the water! I'll redo it and let ya know. Thanks for the feedback...

hmmmm i think this is what you tried to achieve - but something in the middle of the 2 would be ideal IMO.
however if i had to pick one, id say the PP'd one. there seems to be more life in it. the original looks a bit dull/muted?

yeah the original is what the RAW file looks like out of the cam.

One or the other is using some kind of colour management and that is different to what we use. Have you calibrated the monitor at all?

Colours in the second look unnatural. I much prefer the first.

Just drop the saturation in the second.
What was your workflow to go from RAW to the final JPEG?
Ok I just re-read your initial post, being a PC goober I can't comment on your MAC based programs
But I would de-saturate in
PS prior to sharpening and final saving.

Any better? Tried to go in the middle.

Yes, much more natural.

Think it's time for a calibration device...
