What is the game about? Download the RAW file, postprocess it, retouch
it, boil it, add salt and pepper and finally show us what you have done
with it. Just for the fun of it.

Heh, sorry.. Using PS CS I slid the shadows all the way down & the
exposure way up 2.5 or something then processed again at zero shadow but
normal exposure and pasted that below then erased out the blown sky from
the first version with a large soft edged eraser. You can see the points
of the buildings are dark where I erased over them. I think I turned
down the saturation a bit also. That was a really extreme image, not easy.

Saved the original to PSD
re-opened it as NEF
cranked up the exposure and a little saturation
saved as a PSD
selected all, copied, pasted into the first PSD
on the lightened layer, Magic Lassooed the sky, deleted it
flattened image
levels, curves, saturation to taste
Gaussian blur 50%, 1.1, 4
stair-step to size
Save For Web at a quality to give file size ~=260K (~=74)
I did one I liked better (changes in process after
"flatten") but I lost it in the save process ...

Any ideas as to why my Photoshop CS did not open this with the raw
converter?
I use PS CS it for all my Canon RAW with no such trouble.
But that 5.0MB RAW3.TIF file in PS CA just opens as a small thumbnail.
Thanks
Frank ess
I right-clicked on the thumbnail and selected something that resulted
in a big ol' file on my disk.

Pep,
Sounds like fun, BUT, with M$ IE 6.0, I could not get the file to view/open. I
checked that NEF's would view, preview, and open in PS CS2, with latest Adobe
RC, but all I got was an "un-oh cannot view." Any other URLs for the file?

The extention is ".tif", just remove that and the file will open correctly.

Frank's sky is very nice, I tried to putz around with Raw Shooter Essentials
but I don't have too much experience with RAW files. The results were about
the same as the two presented, except for the sky but I found so much noise
in the picture I stopped trying. Bravo to the experts.

Hi Guys,
I only spent about 5 minutes on this using the Gimp under Linux.

and your browser noticed that 'www' by itself was not a hostname and
subsequently did some sort of search on the whole string - that was not
a redirect.

Because it is misnamed. Get rid of the ".tif" at the end, so that PS
knows it's a ".nef".

Well I like this one. I resized them to match to compare and this one
has a lot more punch and balance. I don't see any explanation of your
methods. I found the saturated yellows strange & desaturated those out
but maybe a WB tweak could improve the situation.
Here's all of them, I'm linking to my second cooled down WB attempt:
<http://www.edgehill.net/1/?SC=go.php&DIR=Misc/photography/raw-challenge&PG=1&PIC=1>
For this I just raw converted once & applied several curves, erasing out
with a broad brush in the sky, not trying to get anywhere close to the
building edges.

picture - sorry, I thought it showed up directly on the link :) Thanks
for posting them all together!!
After seeing them all together, mine may be a bit too saturated...
I think this is really a great exercise that will probably help a lot
of people - we should do more!

hold enought detail in the sky without making it look "fake" in
relation to what's underneath - and I don't know if I went to far :) I
think maybe the foreground is a little too "punchy" in relation to the
sky - they look differently separately than they do all together. In
my [limited] experience, this is one of the most difficult parts of
blending exposures!

Actually I tried that but my ACR for CS must be old. It opened fine with the
box version of Elements 3.0.

I don't know. In this one it looks like the buildings are lit from a large
lightsource way to the left. It looks unnatural.
