Downloading JPEG sample from RAW

Can’t help with “is there a way i can download the image as it appears in the light table?”.

There is a process called “histogram equalization” - and it occurred to me that making the raw histogram look like the OOC jpeg histogram should work to an extent.

By “equalize” in this case, I mean to stretch the raw histogram horizontally so they look about the same.

As posted - log histograms

As stretched

Stretching can be done with levels, curves or exposure adjustments.

Unadjusted JPEG at left, stretched raw at right. I prefer the stretched raw … anybody else?

I like it as well.

Thanks!

Stretching the raw in 8-bit perceptual mode opened up some levels but often this does not significantly affect the image appearance. I had set the GIMP precision to 8-bit perceptual mode in order to make the histograms more understandable.
