Exhibit One: Camera Raw
I took this picture (above) with an iPhone 6s at the Rockefeller Center's Top of the Rock observatory in May 2017.
I used Camera Raw to straighten the image and enhance the color in Central Park. I turned the green slider to 95 and used the auto straighten tool for the skyline. This is one of my favorite pictures, but I think the original looks sad and dark — but Camera Raw allowed me to increase the contrast, individual colors and brighten the image without damaging it.
The updated image (below) is much better and easier to look at because Central Park has been identified as the subject. The original image is too dark and the clouds take away from the buildings, skyline and park.
