For this week’s edit, I am editing a landscape image in DxO PhotoLab (Version 7).
I made this image while exploring the coastline along the little village of Arniston, close to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa.
And I know, I know, last week I said I’m going to try and make the edits a bit shorter.
It didn’t work, sorry!
I’ll keep trying.
I really enjoyed the process in PhotoLab, though, even though I had a slight cold.
Let’s go!
