Wow you are great! Thank you to everyone who looked at this picture. I am delighted with the different approaches and have learned a lot.
Somes description of the workflow sounds so simple, others have met the mood that I experienced up there very well.
Some, on the other hand, were able to preserve the colors of the people on the rock very well, with me they are mostly either faded or looked neon-like. I also like the crops, or the implementation in BW.
I see, there is still a lot to learn for me. Thanks a lot to all of you for your contributions!
Ok, scrolling up you will find some *.xmp or *.pp3 files uploaded with the edit.
This file is created by dark table or rawtherapee during the edit. Usually you will find it in the same folder as the original file.
After editing a pic in PlayRaw its normal to upload this file to, so everybody can learn, how you did it.
As stated by @Zbyma72age in the link he posted above: He uses GIMP to do these edits. I don’t think Pat David will be too happy if people start uploading xcf files (these easily get a few hundred Mb)
Some editors, GIMP an Krita being examples, have a different way of saving their edits: Layers. Each layer can be the size of and/or contain (parts of) the original image so these project files (you cannot call them sidecars) can become rather large. I have a few xcf files (GIMP project files) that are close to 5 Gb in size.
Unless the poster is willing to go into details or is willing to upload the project file somewhere you are out of luck. Pixls has a limit how big the files can be that you upload. With good reason…
