Description

This my first try at a multi-night project. I've learned a lot and definitely happy with the results. Sometimes less is more, meaning that I've learned to adapt my processing workflow to be specific to subject, rather than applying the same rote steps to everything. Sometimes background extraction isn't needed, sometimes color calibration isn't needed, or the curves adjustment might need only minor adjustment rather than creating a significant "s" curve.
