Whether or not that is the intended use, it seems to work fairly well. I am still trying to see what the downside is.
This is the image with just neutral profile, auto-match tone curve, and exposure compensation.
@priort or anyone - my knowledge is limited. Maybe I misunderstood or mis-remember the comment about correct white balance.
Is it the case that if you use anything other than “Camera Reference” in White Balance module then you are changing the primaries, which invalidates assumptions in some modules, and results in less colour fidelity?
Whereas if you use cam.ref. and do the white balancing in Color Calibration (as I’ve been doing until quite recently) then there’s no issue?
Ha Ha…just a quick windows snippet I did with zero thought to show the hair issue but you are right its not a bad crop now that I look at it…and a good example that really the rest of the image doesn’t offer that much, has a lot of the cast in it and shrinks the subject compared to what you would get in this crop…
