Making the Image: I took a RAW image without a flash, exposed for the windows. This left the room very dark. In Lightroom I created a copy and increased the exposure in this second image for the room, resulting in over exposed windows. I then combined the two images in Photoshop, masking the windows in the second image. After flattening the two layers, I converted the PSD file to a TIFF in Topaz Adjust, and applied the Heavy Grunge preset, toned down 50%.
