Actually the Nikon camera I was using needs some polarizer enhancement. Otherwise the colours are just too dull. A good comparison would be:
without polarizer

Voted 10/10 | Wouldn“t you achive something quite close to the pic with polarizer if you used the auto function in the gradiation curve setting in Photoshop?
This gave life to some of the duller pictures I took with my Kodak DX 7590 (doesn“t work when conditions are too hazy though).
Need to get a polarizer for the camera anyways... | | Posted Dec 22, 2005 10:44 am |

Hasn't voted | I checked with one of the linked shots above - using the auto gradation curve function actually produces a somewhat similar result - still you see it's not real. Polarizers take off reflections by tiny dust particles which usually produce a grey layer. Software can only compensate part of that. | | Posted Dec 22, 2005 4:14 pm |
