@saliniero : Can you add the RAW to your post?

BTW: Welcome to pixls!

alex666 · January 1, 2021, 11:18am

Little try from your jpeg (Gimp color2grey + curves + colorization)

saliniero · January 1, 2021, 11:51am

@Jade_NL I’m sorry, I’m new and I didn’t really know how it works

Jade_NL · January 1, 2021, 12:26pm

No deed to be sorry! We’ve all been there

BTW: If you are interested: pixls does come with a nice interactive tutorial (2 actually, basic and advanced) that shows you the ins-and-outs.

Click on @discobot, select message, put the following in the body

@discobot start tutorial

and send it to start (response might have a bit of a delay).

I wanted to go with a vivid filmic look

Channel mixer and filmic with euclidean rgb normalization

Also tried to simulate a vintage look, inspired by Kodakchrome 64 and Ektar looks:

@Sebastian, Way back in the day, with my Nikon FA, Kodachrome 64 and 25 were my favorite films.

I’ve done quite a few such images lately, ‘sun-through-the-trees’, and the elements in shadow just need a lift with a well-shaped tone curve. In rawproc:

I elected not to crop because, well, just because. For these images, I don’t bother with highlight reconstruction, I just scale to the minimum of the three channel maximums, which just blows the sun and its proximate illumination to smithereens.

The tool essential to this image is a filmic tone curve, which is shaped to lift the shadows while keeping the darkest parts dark, and is also steep in the mid-tones to put contrast in them.
