Oh, boy, am I late with these.

All work must be done in either ACR or LR except for cropping, sharpening and using your noise filter. You can make some MINOR changes in PSE/CS3 if you want. If you use a preset, please list the name and a link to the source if you have that information. Also, if you'd like, please describe your workflow. [Or not, but fess up and tell us what you did.

I am posting raw and jpegs!! Please members play with these, do what you want.

This one was very interesting to avoid clipping the yellows. I did start with quite unusual ACR settings:
temp 5350
exp -1.70
fill 50
blacks 60
Bright 55

This gave me my digital negative, relatively dark, but enabling me to recover the most of the nuances in the yellows afterwards in PSE.

Just out of curiosity, I made a B&W version of the above, using the green channel as a basis, lightened slightly by the red channel, and sharpened in highpass using the blue channel:

I gave it a try! I am without one of my ED's and have been for a while, whisch is the one I used for my allocated memory for PS so sometimes using the RAW feature is a total waste of time. I don't have enough RAM with out my other drive :shock:
No presets, all adjusted in ACR and finished in CS3
