A little challenge

[hannoschwalm (Jens-Hanno Schwalm)]

This is a nice example for “sometimes inpaint opposed fails” due to the global chroma correction.

1. Use basic modules and disable filmic/sigmoid.

2. reduce exposure until the blown out parts are not completely white any more

3. Observe the wrong colors in the sky
   

   

4. Switch on segmentation based … voila, most casts gone and much easier to proceed developing.

I enjoyed this image - and I actually think that it’s not all that much over exposed! Mind you, I found @hannoschwalm 's tip very helpful. But I think the details in the people crossing the bridge are very nice, and the sky looks quite natural in my edit (IMO obviously!) Sigmoid by the way.
