Having spend a few hours experimenting with waveletnew I have reached the following conclusions:
- I have grown more fond of the Retinex tool (in the Exposure tab) because it doesn’t change the original colors removing the haze unless you want to of course (using the new chroma slider)
- The chroma slider is a very nice improvement
- Tuning the photo in question I get a much better result choosing method “High” instead of “uniform”. Why is that?
- You have to use the Transmission map equalizer and most important the Gain transmission equalizer to obtain a good result
- It is annoying to scroll op and down all the time to control the “Settings” when you work with the equalizers
- I need to study Retinex in wavelet closer. But it is more less the same except that you can work on the residual image or the final touch up. Isn’t it?
Below you will find the results various tuning. I’m sure I could have produced better results if I had spend more time tuning and tweaking.
When will the waveletnew be included in a regular release?
I welcome comments and suggestions.
Photo with the RT raw default profile:
Retinex turned on default settings no other changes
After having changed the equalizer settings
Same as the above photo but now the chroma slider is moved
