Good evening! I was referred here by a member in a darktable Facebook group. I just started using DT and I am overwhelmed. I am also new to photography so please forgive my incorrect aperture/focus. I’ll be re-taking this soon, I hope. But this is what I’ve got to work with for now. I have played with it a bit but I just can’t seem to get to a place where I’m happy with it. I don’t want it to look over-processed as it’s an item I’ll be selling on Etsy, eventually. I’m just hoping to get some interpretations from people who know what they’re doing in darktable, lol. Have at it!
Include the XMP sidecar, the file that contains the processing info. Or let us know if you embedded that info in your image. I usually go the file route to save people the trouble.
A relatively simple edit that tried to keep this as close to real as possible. But without knowing what the actual colours are/where there is some guesswork involved.
Thanks! I will have a look at the steps you took once I’m on my laptop. It looks good! Maybe a little dark? I don’t know, you folks are the experts not me
As pretty as the second one is, the first one is more true to life I think. Not many fluorescent antiques hehe (aside from uranium and neodymium glass, of course!).
Im really enjoying seeing what everyone is doing with this image
The grayscale’s focal point is at the handle.
