First serious edit using RawTherapee. Bit of a steep learning curve and I’m not there yet, but I might be slightly in love…

Here is an attempt using essentially the LAB module of RT 5.8 with a little bit of Dehaze, Wavelet Final Touchup and Edge Sharpness thrown in. There was a huge green fringing on the cross. Removed it with the Defringe module.

Where is this building?

[a286 (Alexander)]

Here in Czech Republic there is a couple of churches of St John of Nepomuk, but this exact one is located in Prague (Praha 1 - Hradčany) and is also called as Military Church of St. John of Nepomuk (Vojenský kostel sv. Jana Nepomuckého in Czech language).

[betazoid (Anna)]

Although I have never been in the Czech Republic I already thought so, just wasn’t quite sure. I know that there are many John of Nepomuk churches in the Czech republic but there are also some elsewhere. I think I remembered this church subconsciously form a class at university. Well… time flies… some 20 years ago or so…

Ah… just looked it up: the architects were Christoph and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer - quite important.

I may have gone a bit over the top, and you may spot a few halos.

Hi Alberto, how to get your processing parameters from your jpeg files. I work of course with ART.
Thanks for the advice.

@srgmro

how to get your processing parameters from your jpeg files

In principle, you just load them:

However, there was a bug causing an infinite loop. I have just fixed it, so you should use the latest version from master if you can…

[srgmro (Serge)]

Ok Alberto, I compiled the last version (1.5.3.25), but it crashes when opening a raw file.
Sorry

[agriggio (Alberto)]

@srgmro

but it crashes when opening a raw file.

[srgmro (Serge)]

Thanks Alberto

You don’t say.

[afre (Alan)]

This is my alt take. Minimal: PhotoFlow + G’MIC.

Yes, it’s called play raw.
