No problem. I saw people get into a lot of trouble with the university administration, bc they told them they were “irritated about the rules”

I also have the A7C2. Any reason you’re using uncompressed RAW vs lossless compressed?

Started out using DAP’s Golden Age preset, but then decided to just use that output as color to the original and then enhance the contrast of the original. Then I pushed the colors a bit.

What a great image. Worth every mosquito bite! I love the single little straw of nature on the right side - I wonder how the image would look like if this was as tack sharp as the rest of the image …

Yes, that’s even better!
I couldn’t open the compressed raw file in darktable. Is it possible? What settingns do you use?
My hard drive would thank you for the information

I’m not using DT, I’m using RT and ART which support lossless compressed RAW via LibRaw.

Or “discombobulated”, when I’m talking to a child and want to use a funny-sounding word to make the child laugh.
Made it the tiniest bit cooler than my first one, and gimped out the blade of grass.

Or maybe “in a quandary”? He’s got a tough decision to make and isn’t sure which option to take. I think the confused/puzzled route makes it sound like he doesn’t understand something.
