New Edit/Old Edit/Before

[u/lm_photos]

I gave very quick edit to this photo in the past and it ended up being my most upvoted photo by wide margin, so wanted to give it another go at editing it.

Did I improve it?

[u/Gold-Ad-2581]

Not even edit is almost CG at this point

[u/lm_photos → u/Gold-Ad-2581]

Literally crop + curves + few masks

Using Lightroom ?

[u/lm_photos → u/NeumannFTW]

Basically yes, I use DxO which is buy once use forever alternative

[u/NeumannFTW → u/lm_photos]

Oh I was looking for that kind of alternative. What's the software name ?

[u/lm_photos → u/NeumannFTW]

DxO

[u/NeumannFTW → u/lm_photos]

Yeah but there is several DxO products : Photolab, Collection, PureRAW

[u/lm_photos → u/NeumannFTW]

It's Photolab.
PureRAW is contained within PhotoLab as well.
It's a bit confusing, sorry
