Excellent work, lots of variety in this one.
Tim took an early and commanding lead only to be ousted a day later. BUT… cool yer jets. Gonna have to deduct some points 'cos things are looking a little dark. A few more modules are needed to brighten things up a bit.
Good to see one of our regular contributors figured out the saturation slider moves in both directions… shows growth :smiling_imp:
Pano crops??? Never would have thought of it. Who can resist a bit of xpan? Me like.
Easter eggs… Brilliant. Very timely. You know, because Easter. Gave it a shake to see if there was any honeycomb in there.

Ok, a very minimal edit. Exposure, white balance, and filmic rgb. darktable 5.0.1.

This was a four click edit for me because I applied my Canon R7 style that I created as a starting point. I then adjusted exposure, added a texture preset and cropped. Five click edit if you include the export click.

And we have a winner!!!
No, wait… just how many operations went into that style?
Close but no banana.

Good clean render btw

Now the whole purpose of a style is that it turns a lot of repetitive actions into a single click. The style is based on turning the RAW from my Canon R7 into something very similar, but with better details, than my camera’s JPG. It includes denoising, sharpening, matching exposure to camera’s JPG, color saturation, WB as shot, local contrast and shadows/highlights module. This style has sped up my workflow by giving me a great starting point with one click. The style works resonable well on my Canon 800D but is not suitable for my Canon G16. I need to make styles for all my cameras eventually.
