HT0806 - Extreme Processing

I've always approached post-processing with a fairly light hand. I tend not to work on images to an excessive amount, but I've learned I might be wrong in that. I've discovered a number of images that were pretty mediocre out of the camera but I've been able to cajole them into something much more interesting with some rather extreme processing. The strategy might resurrect a lot of images I given up on with a lighter touch.
