Are you in some way worried about what you did to it in Lightroom?
Maybe it's my understanding of the English language that is the problem?

Distressed furniture. Distressed jeans. Distressed as in made to look old or worn-out.

When I add vignetting, split toning, and other effects, I use "Distressed" as a keyword in Lightroom. It's a bit of an exaggeration for this photo. Adding film grain would give a more distressed look. Adding light vignetting instead of dark is another technique for making a photo look old.

It's used commonly over here to describe something that's intentionally been given a worn or old look.

dis·tress

VERB
give (furniture, leather, or clothing) simulated marks of age and wear.

"the manner in which leather jackets are industrially distressed"

After 2 years of minimal photography (golf addiction) I met with 'Crdome' for a photo op in the IndoAsian district of Chicago. In order to travel light I warmed up the unobtrusive GM5. We wandered for a couple hours and found that the main street had 4 basic selections: clothing stores, food/restaurants, electronic sales/repair and 'trinket' shops. Not a lot of selection, but a great weather day to be out with a fun friend. So here's a few:

I made a totally unexpected purchase today. I didn't need it. I wasn't looking for it. But I bought it! A Gm5 and 12-32 for under $200 Australian with a limited warranty. It's missing some features I'd rather have but I figure I basically got a free lens with a tiny , EVF equiped body. It'll come along in the motorcycle jacket when I can't be bothered with the bigger gear.

It's so small that even the 15PL looks out of scale! Especially with the hood on it. The 12-32 is a good lens but I may need a 14 or 20mm for it. It only makes sense for it's tiny-ness for me.

Still, a new toy that can use the aperture rings!

I've not had a 14mm to play with on the GM5, but it should be a great lens for it in regards to pocketability. The 12-32 is nice, but to be honest I always find it fiddly to use, and my copy is not the sharpest judging by what I have seen of others' results. Have fun with your new 'toy' - which it is far from being in reality. That sensor is as capable of decent mu4/3 images as any other....

Oh, I wasn't being disparaging with "toy". I know it's a very very capable imaging tool.

Here's the first shot I took. Once I worked out the wifi connection.

Arrgh, first thing I hadn't considered - no in-camera Raw processing? I usually don't worry too much with which colour profile I'm in, figuring I can change it in the field. But it seems here I'll need to. Good thing there's a custom position on the mode dial.

I never shot anything in RAW with mine; stuck it in Aperture mode most of the time and used it as a very good P&S with the 12-32 attached. I eventually came round to thinking that using it like that left me a happier bunny then when I tried to be clever and use the camera in full manual (even if that was what I tended to do when I had the P30mm on it)

I found the Sigma 60 a really good lens with that processor, too.

I like the way the 15mm has rendered that photo. I think a 15mm may be next on my wishlist, it's been on my mind a while now.

The 15mm is the "best" lens in the system , imo. Especially on Panasonic bodies. I like how using the aperture ring leaves the control wheel on the GM5 as automatically exposure comp. Helps to offset having only one control wheel.

GM5 / 12-32.

Such a pocketable little thing. Sure, it has its flaws/omissions - Ibis is the big one for me, even with the 12-32, and USB charging would make it amazing for vehicle travel - but it's a big sensor for the body size. (This is the 15PL)
