Golden hour church

This picture might be harder than it looks… the wall can go yellow and blotchy.


Experimental program at 3700K, saturation 1.9x

I’ve gone for a very (over?) saturated look. But after staring at it for a while, it looks right to me?? I can’t tell anymore!

Nice detail rendering.

My program just downscales the image by half while taking 2x2 grids of pixels straight from bayer… so yeah. Haven’t implemented any debayering yet.

That’s a nice example, how different demosaicers handle moiré.
From top left to bottom right going down first:
vng4, igv, lmmse, dcb, rcd, amaze

Looks like DCB is doing best in this case?

Well, in this case (moiré) igv (bottom left) is also quite good…

Lovely image.
I made no attempt at technical perfection. Filmulator with default values and then into GIMP.
An increase in saturation for the sky and the stonework. A decrease of saturation for the church roof and the colourful parts of the background buildings. Sharpened with wavelet decompose.

Ah I thought that one was DCB, misread the order

Love the shadows/light and contrast… :grinning:

You haven’t upgraded your PWP :slight_smile: The IGV seems to leave less color in the windows…could be a good thing if some of it is noise??

Still playing/testing with the new Local Adjustment tool that is being developed at the moment.

EDIT: Missed 2 dust bunnies, added a tad of warmth.

With Filmulator, plus GIMP to remove dust in the sky.

Settings:

  • Auto CA Correct 1
  • Shadow Rolloff Point 0.0032
  • Drama 100
  • White Clipping Point 0.582

I did one using gimp. Not sure what it opened in as I havn’t used this type of file before in gimp. Anyhow, I moved the exposure slider up and down a bit, Gave it more contrast, a little darker and then using GMIC I used mighty details to bring out the bricks in the church. Changed to a jpg for a smaller file

Here is my take using darktable 3.7.0+1376~g669ed6b889 on Linux.

RT 5.8 dev. Used quite strong chroma NR here to reduce moiré on the second window from left.

Still the right-hand windows show strong alising.

Nice pic, thanks for the play.

Here my try with RT dev 5.8_3049:

Yes, there is some moiré in the windows and using IGV could help, but: IGV created some strange artifacts on the rooftop so i went back to AMaZE+VNG4
