I'm not. I like the original better - the photoshopped version looks
like one of those Thomas Kincaid "paniter of light" paintings - it looks
fake. Fine if you go in for that sort of thing, but it's not my cup of
tea. (But the original is a great shot.)


There's more detail and contrast in the snow, giving a more 3-dimensional
effect, and the detail in the skier's clothing is pretty irrelevant.

On the other hand, the unprocessed vers is too blue - common for snow
pictures, the tree wood is too dark, and the skier is washed out. I
prefer the second vers; I think the overall brightness could be reduced
(but that's probably my screen.)

I'm sure we all have a dedicated, compensated, true color display -
accurately aligned - they only go for a few grand each ...
