Technical Details
Ancient raw file from 2006, redone in the current LR, but not really much changed. Just basic global tonal adjustments, with the nice addition of a Texture slider. Into PS for minor straightening. Surprisingly, Topaz Denoise didn’t give any improvement. Good exposure at low ISO worked even back then.
