NIce image!
I used my homebrew Nikon D7000 SSF profile, a rather tame filmic curve, and a second whitebalance using a simple ‘grayworld’ algorithm on top of the “as-shot” whitebalance I usually put in before demosaic. In rawproc:
The fun lasted 5 min. bravo apothecary eye.
It isn’t the first edit with some visible mishaps
That doesn’t not sound polite. If it wasn’t meant this way, please forgive my ignorance…
Just in case, please take note that this camera/lens has some nasty spots.
Maybe they were amplified by @Zbyma72age edit
@heckflosse I don’t think the ouch was polite either.
I would call it a wow, thinking there was a tear in the space-time continuum but then @gadolf’s explanation is more sensible.
To make the matter clear, at 87 years old for me a certain method of processing is, as I wrote somewhere - fun, an attempt to achieve a positive result, but not always apothecary chisels.
Playing with photography is supposed to be a joy, not a long hours of torture.
I do not always manage to notice some nuances.
Sorry if you didn’t feel welcome. I agree that recent Play Raws have been more work than fun lately. That said, there have been fun entries (see Celebrating Mars rover landing); just fewer than before.
The point is we do prefer people to expand their horizons and try FLOSS raw processors. People like darktable but I think RawTherapee (or its fork ART) or PhotoFlow might be more suitable for you.
??? If they’re not fun then don’t do them and do something else that is fun.
I didn’t mean it that way but to your point I have been distancing myself from the Play Raws.
I meant there have been more serious entries with serious critiquing, where people are trying to solve problems, which is a very good thing since they are taking their learning of FLOSS seriously.
But my point is that we should leave room for levity; not everyone has to be super intense about everything. (The late @chroma_ghost knew how to have fun but he knew his stuff too.)
That said, I do understand the response of the community. It did seem that @Zbyma72age was posting in a spam-y (fast and loose) way.
