I think I was about 10 minutes away. And, everyone I got behind was driving slow!<BR/><BR/>I hope you find the tutorial useful. It's written for the Gimp, but should very easily translate to Photoshop as it's mostly desaturating a layer, color inverting, blurring, merging and setting the merged layer's blending mode to 'Soft Light'.<BR/><BR/>I started out shooting RAW+JPEG. For a while, I was using the JPEGs for my blog, but I quickly grew out of that. When my wife and I came back from our trip to California, I switched to shooting only RAWs. It had been a long time since I even looked at the JPEGs. I can't think of any reason why I'd switch to shooting JPEGs.John Brainardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08539042020140186078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6012109698555656556.post-30314142515751688542008-08-11T16:36:00.000-04:002008-08-11T16:36:00.000-04:00Good catch.

Everytime that I have seen rainbows lately has been when I've been in the middle of interstate or rush hour traffic and can't pull off in time to photograph them. I read somewhere that a polarizing filter can help make the rainbow pop a bit more from the sky. I know that I've been able to see vary faint ones better when I've been wearing polarized sunglasses. So, it might be worth it to try the filter next time too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I haven't read it yet, but I'm always looking out for stuff like that. You never know when you'll find something that helps out processing photos.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and doesn't RAW processing help out a lot? I don't think I could go back to letting a 1-hour lab process my shots for me.Craig Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441805063163359816noreply@blogger.com
