A whole new world has opened up to me with editing RAW photos and playing with colour hues, gradients, balance and levels. On the one hand I feel they create a much more dynamic feel to the photo, but on the other hand other hand, some colours are lost in the process. Particularly in sunset shots. Numerous times I have edited a sunset photo, and when compared with the original, the range from orange to blue has lost its complete gamut. Still, it's an enjoyable past-time, although it is increasingly becoming apparent that proper training is required, although sometimes when you edit, you just feel your way. Most photos are over edited in my opinion anyway.
Check out this photo I took at Point Samson recently. The light was perfect - the hour before sunset, but that didn't stop me increasing the magenta hue to add a touch of purple. It's no secret that purple is a personal favourite of mine!
