I'm in trial mode with CaptureOne 4 Pro 6--free for 30 days.
One feature is "keystone" correction which here-to-fore I've not had the capacity to do.
This was taken with a wide angle lens and did keystone a lot. I was impressed with the ability of the program to do what it did.
I presume a lot of other programs will do the same and it often does yield a more pleasing photo.
And I played with mono.....
Would be interested to hear about some more unique features of any RAW processing programs others are using.
Critique and comments always sought and appreciated.

Larry, the keystone corrections looks very good here. I really like the scene too and if you brightened the overall image this one would really POP! Nice find and a very nice image.

The keystone correction obviously worked as there is no visible keystoning in the picture. I like the composition of the scene and you picked a great day to shoot it with the clouds adding so much to the sky. No question that B&W works with this scene although I agree with Wayne that the picture needs to be brightened or at least increase the contrast between the house and the rest of the scene.

Afraid I can't be much help in the software comparison. I use Lightroom almost exclusively, although I also use Viveza to tweak the color and lighting in some shots. Don't know if it's unique or not, but I like the targeted adjustment brushes in LR (and the u-point adjustments in Viveza which are very similar). Helps take the pain out of masking.

Nice scene - a little lightening would imrpve this even more.
Great sky and perfect for the B&W treatment -

Thanks for the comments.
This does look darker than it did on my monitor.
Might try a repost.
