This is one of the most saturated raw files I’ve seen recently.
Perhaps as I haven’t been using the ‘old’ (not really) A7s Mk1 much lately.
I feel like there’s quite a lot of room for interpretation here. I did a slight vignette as I just like that effect, and fiddled with rgb primaries and color EQ in darktable 4.7.0+852~gf0c81ac018 until I got it ‘just so’ Colourful, but to me not garish. Opinions may differ.
Naaahh not really. Of course, yours is a little bit darker and less saturated. But in my eyes, everything is well-balanced. So probably if you ask me which version I like more. I would decide differently every time you’d ask.
My play is with RT 5.10-512-g6b35d3746, using mostly Local Adjustments. I liked the original colours so didn’t stray too far from the version you posted; but, I did try to bring out the tree somewhat by slightly darkening and desaturating the forest and lake, and bumping up the tones and colours of the tree and that contrasting blue sky.
Had a try at it, did the same kind of color shift you did but with channel mixer but tried something else on the contrasts and sky …
Nice composition and subject, thanks for the play DSC01025.ARW.xmp (25.7 KB)
