Happy little doggy with some crazy contrast

Yes, the background is problematic. Below I did an edit masking out the background. Looks better to me now. @apostel338, I can not see, or measure a greenish tint. If anything, I see more of a red cast. Where do you see this green?

Interesting…

Just to be absolutely sure I re-downloaded the RAW from this topic, the Dublin Bay Rose RAW and your pp3. This time I loaded them into my RT version that I use for personal stuff (version 5.8-3050). I shoot with Nikon so I also tried them out on a Z6II, D750 and D700 NEF file, same result.

I do see that denoise is happening when I turn it on/off, but no blue artefact. Tried with and without setting a neutral profile before loading your pp3.

I’m not able to reproduce this.

EDIT: @apostel338 : Yep, turned it on. Also tried removing and turning on/off the other 2.

Have you exported? It’s doesn’t show in RT.

I did with the previous 2 versions. Let me try with 5.8-3050:

@apostel338 @marter What settings are you using to export?

@Jade_NL , yes, i downloaded both fies from this topic. Did you save the file to disk? The blue will not show in RT, only after export.
Edit:
I tried with export to external editor, but also by save the file. No difference.

@marter : You should file a bug report. If more people are able to reproduce this and even if it turns out to be a quality/subsampling settings issue, this should not happen.

As you can see in my previous reply I’m not able to reproduce, but I’m no RT authority, maintainer or developer. I’m just lucky I guess :laughing:

@Jade_NL ok, i will try thank you very much!

@Thomas_Do Yes, better. I think there’s just some tricking to my eyes. You’re right, in fact, there’s no tint on the dog.

The bug seems to be dependent on the size of the correction area. It appears or disappears when I change it.

@Jade_NL JPG 100 Best Quality. But it’s on TIFF 16 Bit too.

Beautiful dog! Here is my take, using dt 3.7.0+434˜gd9b96c01a

Nice one.

Rarely go with a warm look, but here’s my version

Never mind. “Warm look” is a registered trademark of mine.

There seem to be some turquois edges on the head.

I mean, rarely go but i think this image is fitting for that look, that’s why I’m still going with that direction :grinning:

Yes, my base colour look up adjustment shifting shadow slightly toward bluish/cyan colour.

apostel338,
I like yours.
I thought I was on the same tack as you, with colorbalanceRGB, but added more whites (de-saturated)… different approach to the contrast EQ as well…

I was shooting for “color negative film”… in the feeling.

LOVING this new way of working.

Nice one too. Has some retro film look.

Yes I enjoy lower contrast edits, particularly in the background.

Yes, unfortunately I didn’t notice that until after upload - on laptop I don’t see all highlight detail unless I tilt the screen back, which I forgot to do here. I’m not sure what causes that artifact but am fighting with the software, it often displays around blown highlights in a much more noticeable fashion, and I constantly have to compress history to clear it. Has only happened since 3.6.0.3 (mac). I should upgrade to a more recent development version.

Ok, I’m a little bit behind on Windows (3.6.0.1).

Thanks: that is what I was going for :slight_smile:

It is hard for me not to slide those saturation levers to the left…

If you like it, do it :wink:
