    Editing question~How to make chalk pop on brick?

    I would love any suggestions on how to get this chalk to pop in this photo to make it easier to read. Thoughts, suggestions and/or ideas?

    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    In LightRoom

    reduce the luminance of orange
    increase the luminance of aqua

    add contrast and clarity to your liking

    Nice tip, Armando! And a great final image to show how well it works

    Hope you guys don't mind but I moved this thread to our post-processing and software forum. It's a better fit here - especially for people coming to the site via Google or other search.
