Part 2: Edit
SOOC
Edit
This edit was a challenge. I really wanted to salvage this way too dark photo. Obviously I didn't play with selective color using Ashley's wonderful processing steps but I did go back to her Week 10: Yellow Edit. Followed most of the steps with adjustments to taste.
I would love to learn any tips or techniques you guys have for editing underexposed shots.
SOOC
Edit
My goal with this edit was to enhance color while keeping the softness of the SOOC. So pleased with how this edit turned out (if I do say so myself).
Looking at both edits I think I'm desperately seeking sunshine!
Your edits look great - I love the first one!

These are great! I thought you had two different flower pictures--they are so different but very pretty!

Oh, by the way, I just read this article about how to adjust exposure in lightroom. I don't know if you have lightroom (I don't) but it can work in ACR and possibly others. I found it useful to hear what adjustments help with exposure, etc.

Thanks! I saw the post but didn't think I could use the info since I don't have LR (yet). I'll give it a try in ACR. Thanks again :)
