Thanks, Sofia! It was an OK shot in color, but the loss of color was a big improvement.

In re-reading my comment, it appears I am coming off as a shill for their product. I have no affiliation with Skylum other than I have been using their products since 2018. Their products have improved greatly over the years.

Luminar Neo is by Skylum software. they have options for rental or purchase of Luminar Neo. I chose the purchase option. I see they have a 30-day money-back guarantee.

I might need to try that! Thank you–hadn’t even realized there was an alternative and I am NOT able to navigate photoshop

Thanks, Stephanie! I continue to be a point-and-shooter but since buying Luminar products starting in 2018, I’ve had much fun experimenting with changing photos. It is so much easier to learn than Photoshop or Lightroom.

Thanks. I took that photo in 2012, and at some point, I decided to do the black-and-white mod for a different challenge. It really worked well for this challenge.

Thanks, Dan. I had a great time preparing for my response.
