Edmonton, graduated filter, Lightroom, McBain Camera, negative clarity, PowerShot A70, Powershot A95, Sun, sunrise

This sunrise was giving me some troubles with red fringing around some of the higher-contrast areas. Which, admittedly, is actually a pretty common issue with compact cameras.

I decided to try a different remedy for it this time, though; I used a graduated filter in Lightroom to apply heavy negative clarity to the right-hand side of the frame, fading out to positive clarity on the left. It gives the Sun, and other nearby details, a rather attractive glow.
