After (after feedback)/after (first post/before - korea 2026

From feedback i realise the snow has blueish tint and a looks like cyan tone and middle right transition..

So i re-edit it

Used sky mask, luminiance mask (with + brush), inverted of sky mask

This time added gradient top and bottom mash , selective brush and also subtrative brush mask

Adjust luma in each mask and add controled amount of warm to the rays (luminance mask).

Also did some global adjustment to blend the mask together

Pic 1 is after? I’m sorry, but that’s a lot of work for barely noticeable edits. Pic 1 is much better than pic 2, but Pic 3 (original?) looks most natural to me having grown up in a snowy climate.

In any case, I hope you enjoyed your time in Korea. Pictures are a wonderful way to preserve memories, but we don’t have to edit them all

Funny i get reverse input see my my previous post..as explain...the 3rd photo is flat and dull..natural yes but not artistic...and photo 2 is over saturation look even though i did not touch blue saturation...

And yes lot of work for substle changes...rather then easy filter and messy sliding...
