I’m going back through my old photos for a website update. This one is already on my website, but I thought I would see what the current software (and my current Lightroom chops) could do with some of the files. This is the first one I’ve tried this go-around, and I think I’ve made significant improvement.
I made a Snapshot in case I messed something up, then hit Reset. Using the Adobe Landscape profile, I went though my usual routine with contrast, etc. I added a gradient to the sky, using a Luminance Mask to apply the settings only to the lightest parts. Overall contrast and saturation is much better, which is hard to see in the web versions.
It will be interesting to see what I can do with other files. This may take a while…. 😉

Nice! ☺️
Thank you! Fond memories of a beautiful place. 😉
Oh, yes, I can see a big difference.
A definite improvement. I’ve got my work cut out for me if I decide to go back and reprocess photos. Yikes! Although it might ultimately be worth the effort.
I’ve thought the same thing.
