Ski Racing Group»2019-20 Ski Season Group»Examples of Edited Files

Here are a few sample edited race files to show the quality available upon full editing.

Because I am rushing to satisfy deadlines (ADN and maybe SkiRacing) and upload something before the next race begins, the race galleries normally hold only partially edited images. So the thumbnails in the race galleries are usually not fully (or sometimes, even partially) color corrected or cropped.

These examples are closer to what the images would be, fully edited, cropped optimally, and perhaps processed with additional effort. Everything initially runs through FastRawViewer to select what needs to be sent to the ADN and then through Lightroom Classic. If necessary, I also sometimes use Topaz Sharpen AI and DxO.

Unfortunately, it takes about an hour or more of computer time to rough-edit and upload an hour of racing. So if I take four hours to shoot a race, it will take at least four more hours to upload the race photos to the website. Things tend to bog down for a multi-day series.
