Blue hour on the river

Blue hour shot with a panasonic g80 and 12-60 i’m just trying. Contains bad blue led light on the far
bridge and some blown highlights.

Looks like a job for the latest sigmoid module

The latest sigmoid does great IMO. And recently, I also like to use the halation effect when there’s blown out highlights

Nasty highlights indeed.

Here’s my play with RT 5.9. Darkened the foreground with a graduated filter and cropped somewhat to shift focus onto the bridge, then added some local vibrance to the sky and local wavelet contrast to the bridge.

Cheers, and thanks for the play.

I went with two instances of rgb primaries to control the blues…

First quick play in GIMP. I am not happy with the result. Perhaps I will have another try.

Thank you everyone.

Here is my try too. but i’m unable to work well on the blue… so two versions with ART, one without camera profile, mixed with gimp for the blue highlights.

so far i think the most convincing rendering of the highlights is… the jpeg… followed by @nish version (but i don’t use darktable)

with art is also easy to select by hsl the blues, but after a good selection i don’t know how to proceed to desat the blues.

Sigmoid + Color Eq to adjust the blues/purples.

I used the Adobe camera profile for the G7, the auto-match tone curve, and a couple of experimental features I’ve been playing with (it should be possible to obtain a similar effect with the Color Correction module).
