The opposite is true for this bright young lad.

I had a careful look at your parameters. So I understand that you first applied a zone mask and within this mask you refine the selection with Delta mask. I am right ?
Thanks to all for your participation.
GIMP 2.10.12. Did not brighten the face too much so as to keep a realistic perspective. Basically used the curve tool and the Screen blend mode on the face. Increased the contrast and sharpened a bit. Should have removed the CA that is present around the head of the statue though…

@srgmro Yes that’s what I did.
The order I find works for me is:
- Click on delta mask (within colour adjustment tool)
- Click on show mask
- Click on point in picture to select the object and see what parts of the picture it selects.
- Adjust the range setting to select more or less of the image.(The HSL tools also adjust the range of what gets selected in the mask)
- Often that’s all that’s needed to select what you want but if you may also want to restrict the changes to a specific area using the area tool as well. Feathering is often a good idea to avoid abrupt changes.
- Make the adjustments to your selected area ie slope, gamma, hue, saturation etc
Hope this is what you were asking. It’s just what I do, but I am sure there may be better ways…

You are welcome. Glad that I can be of help.
Thanks for this PlayRaw. It is a very nice example for the use of masks. I did my variant with darktable 3.0

Finished by stretching the layer in Gimp and overlaying the bigger head. Am I the only one who was annoyed at the disproportion of the head?
