This looked pretty good right out of the box, but I added some little flourishes

Thanks for these awesome edits y’all! Very cool to see all the different takes on this image.

I’m rarely a wide angle shooter, preferring at least my 50mm if not my 70-200mm for landscapes. I think my lessons here are to lean into a style and figure out where I’m trying to draw focus.

What a beautiful landscape! Didn’t do much. Used the color harmonizer to bring about a balance and then a little bit of sharpening. I hope you like it.

Thank you for this beautiful landscape!
I used RT and an Agfa Ultra Color 100 LUT

sorry, replaced it because I didn’t like the strong blue cast of the background mountains.

I Love the scale with the endless road leading into the beautiful mountains covered by clouds above and the rocks give such nice texture highlighting light. That little pop of red from the car adds a lot. Great composition!

I did play with it in Spektrafilm and if you have it installed you might wanna try it because I loved how the sharp edges of the tree leaves in front are handled there because of upscale and then grain and other effects. I tried to add a mask and bloom preset to get it to not sting into my eyes but that’s my own ick I guess!

I may just have accidentally exported in linear prophoto RGB

Great frame, @xandithezombie! Thanks for sharing

Not a lot to do really, the starting point is so good already. Slightly tighter crop (I didn’t like the dark rocks in the foreground), a bit of contrast, a bit of sharpness, a bit of color harmonizer, some vignetting and a couple of ND filters.

Impromptu browser colour management check

(However this screenshot is also slightly incorrect because I have set Krita to automatically assume sRGB for pasted images, so it assumed my Display P3 managed screenshot data was sRGB. I think GIMP can fix that sort of issue but not Krita?)

I am just happy it looks…fine. Guess linear prophoto RGB is the new web safe

Couple versions using Christian’s basecurve fork…

Here were my plays. Develop history is baked into the jpg.

Was interested to know what I could see in the top of this photo. I opened it in RT then straight to gimp

[CarVac]

I just had to monochrome convert this scene, it was just asking for it.

With Filmulator:

• Auto CA Correct 1
• Highlight Recovery 2
• Exposure Comp -1
• Shadow Rolloff Point 0.00758 (to really darken the shadows, essential for monochrome)
• Film Area 181 (to emphasize larger zones of contrast)
• Drama 94
• White Clipping Point 0.516
• Monochrome on (default color weights)

or …

Sorry I’ll try to remember, no png’s in future

[CarVac]

Could you please re-upload this as a jpeg? It’s a PNG which is extremely heavy despite the small dimensions.

A glorious photograph. No way could I improve on your original edit, but a chance for me to play in GIMP.
