@wrjfoto beautiful capture :-)!
@locly those slightly muted tones are beautiful! Helps convey the tender nature of the blooms. Never thought of going that route.
@lylejk Awesome and incredibly three-dimensional. Almost feels like I can touch (and weirdly lick) the marbles.

There are already a lot of nice renders, anyway:

Great analog filmic look!

[Locly]

Thank you! The color grading here was done exclusively with the channel mixer. From my understanding, it’s the tool that most closely replicates the behavior of real color film.

Would you share your .xmp :-)?

[Locly]

Of course:

Thanks. Channel mixing always feels like a very foreign language to me .

[Locly]

Yes, it’s super confusing at the beginning. But I guess this is the language that scientists at Kodak and other companies spoke when creating new emulsions—like deciding which frequencies of light a particular film layer should be sensitive to.

Thanks for the inspiration. Haven’t done an oob is quite a while (and not my best).
