    I'm using Photoshop Elements. This is my default setting to export from RAW as 16 bit, but I don't think it's a .tiff. I don't suppose that you have any idea how to? Many thanks!

    When converting to Jpeg from RAW, save as a 16-bit tiff rather than an 8-bit jepg. Do all of your editing on the tiff, and make the final step before uploading to convert to the 8-bit jepg.

    3: OK
    4: seems to lack a bit shadows
    5: OK

    in that case, there's not much to do.

    A stopped down aperture

    Otherwise the standard lens correction features in PS.

    No, circular banding in the sky. Could be due to vignetting removal, or something else.

    AC & TS maybe a bit bright, but otherwise no major issues.
