Canon EOS 7D 85mm 1/160th +0.3ev F3.5 ISO1600
Canon EOS 7D 85mm 1/160th +0.3ev F3.5 ISO1600 added curve adjustment

I used Raw Therapee's temperature feature to adjust the lighting then added a bit of color saturation. Then I used the deconvolution sharpening to give just a tad more detail. I'm sure you had it in your original image, but maybe it lost a little bit in the resizing.

Yep, I know about people trying too hard to "pose" for a photo.

Wish I had the skill to loosen them up!

Edit - nice subject and I like the DoF

I added a mild S-curve tone adjustment in the bottom image. It may be a bit too "hard", but it pops a bit more.

Thanks. I never do final sharpening till I am ready for printing or maybe e-mail.

FWIW, UFRaw is available as a plugin to the GIMP for Windows. »ufraw.sourceforge.net/Install.html

It gives you controls for WB including presets such as cloudy, flash, florescent, incandescent as well as sliders for temperature and green level. Won't help you with a JPG, but will make while balance easy from RAW.

Thanks,I might go ahead and download it, but I don't think I can export a raw to GIMP. I think I have to convert to tiff or jpeg, anyone know for sure?

UFraw does the conversion for you.

I do it all the time.

Since it works for Vista, it should work for Win7. I haven't tried it, though.

It looks like it supports several cameras -

»ufraw.sourceforge.net/Cameras.html

As for saving EXIF data,

said by »ufraw.sourceforge.net/ :

Embed EXIF data - UFRaw can save the EXIF data to JPEG output for a few supported formats. These formats include Canon (CRW, CR2), Nikon (NEF), Pentax (PEF), Samsung (PEF), Sony (SR2, ARW), Fuji (RAF) and Adobe's DNG. For information on how to save EXIF data for other formats you should use ExifTool by Phil Harvey

I've used it on my Pentax PEF files but prefer Raw Therapee for its functionality.
