This shows the owl photos before and after some dynamic contrast is added, and final touches are done on the image. The first image of each pair is the final version, to which a small amount of "On1 Photo RAW" dynamic contrast (DC) has been added, along with tonal adjustments. For some photos, background distractions have also been removed. The second image of each pair, labelled "Owl-Pre DC-xx" are after noise reduction (but no sharpening) in Topaz Denoise AI, and before the final adjustments were made. They have been cropped and given some Lightroom exposure and contrast adjustment to match the final images, but there is no sharpening.
