Notes on Tone Mapping: Second Image

We spent a lot of time working on the original file to adjust for the sky and background. Because of this, the image suffered on the face of the hotel, the fence, and the signs in the front. So, for the second image, I changed the Presets pop-up menu at the bottom of the Adjustments panel to Previous. Then, I simply adjusted the White Point and Gamma to lighten the building and signs, and desaturated the image by reducing the Saturation Highlights and Shadows to bring out as much detail as possible in these parts of the image.
