Used lucis and some creating blendings to get this solarization like effect. Just an excuse to play before I hit the grind again. :slight_smile:

I found this image a very straight forward image to process because of the nice capture. I have decided to include a list of processing steps that might help some people new to using darktable with the sigmoid module. But there are so many ways to process the image I am not suggesting this is the only way, best way or even the correct way to process this image. But it might be helpful to a person trying to get started with Dt and feeling overwhelmed by so many options.

  1. Set exposure module. With this image having the target lightness set to 50 and using the picker for the exposure slider will give a good result.
  2. Adjusting the sigmoid module.
    a. Increase the contrast slider to 1.7 to add punch to the image.
    b. Increasing the skew slider value adds contrast to the highlights and enhances the look of the sky in this image.
  3. Apply local contrast. Just activating the module applies a default detail value of 125% which is fine for most images. With this image increase the details value to 137% for more contrast
  4. Activate shadow and highlights module to brighten the shadow details and darken the details on the white buildings.
  5. Use the color balance rgb module to add colorfulness to the image. The preset “add basic colorfulness (legacy)” can be selected for this image.
  6. Activate the denoise (profiled) module to apply the required initial denoising of a RAW file
  7. Apply the initial basic sharpening of the raw file by using the preset “sharpen demosaicing: AA filter” found in the diffuse or sharpen module.
  8. This completes a basic simple edit and the image can now be exported.

…and a technical question:
The houses on the pic are partly that bright, that you can’t see the windows anymore. Anyway the highlights are not really clipped, so why do I have no chance to make them somehow visible again? Or are there really no windows?

### Roller

Roller blinds are a type of window blind that is typically made from a polyester fabric wrapped around a plastic or metal roller. The roller may either be exposed or enclosed inside of a frame and can be placed at the top of the window recess or outside of the recess. To control the roller blind there is typically a chain or string on either side of the blind. When the side chain is pulled one direction the roller will raise, and if pulled in the opposite direction it will lower instead.

I attach a photo where the light is no longer shining on the shutters and where you can see what the houses look like without so much light (sorry for the quality of the image).

A constructive detail of what a roller shutter looks like.

Thanx for Explanation. I simply haven’t thought on roller blinds. Maybe, because here in Germany we close them most of the times only in the night and they are quite often grey and not white. Anyway I should have darkened the pic and zoomed on myself, than I would have seen the contours of the windows myself… :flushed:
