Nahh. I have mad old school skilz. Photoshop and digitality is the reason I left the profession. I'm a process oriented guy, it's about the journey etcetc. I'm not really jazzed about digital bells and whistles. Photoshop has it's moments though.
Shooting that stone is all about lighting. Then it's lenses, film, and processing running neck and neck.
I miss the good old days sometimes, sniff.
First problem with that picture is the light source is too close, you've got a massive hot spot with severe fall off at the corners. The next problem is that you want to pick up the texture of the writing without picking up the texture of the stone, it's a dance of give and take. You might use filters on the camera to enhance to writing and flatten out the stone's texture. I'd say a good shot of that stone could take all day to set up. Some things I've shot have taken longer to set up.
Then again there is always the dome...
