Re: [OM] Peter Eastway and Phase One

[Chuck Norcutt]

My ACR formula to revise your doctored version
Exposure +0.2
Whites -10
Blacks +19
Saturation
Reds -14        
Oranges +19
Yellows +26
Greens +35
Purples +73 (there is purple hiding on the distant hill)

I did the saturation changes first then went back and adjusted exposure 
and black and white points.  The final result looks rich but natural... 
except for the roof.  I'm not sure that can be made to look natural.
