It still does not look good. The color gradient of the sun has hard edges and is not that smooth that the original Sony JPG looks like.
Maybe someone wants to play with this and can write down the changes?
@OrcLex , I think you can probably get it more to your liking in filmic by using the Reconstruction feature / tab. However this can be quite fiddly.
It’s not directly helpful but here’s a version done with Sigmoid, an alternative to filmic, which has fewer controls and can get good results quickly. Sigmoid is not yet incorporated into the mainstream but many are hoping it will be soon-ish.
Note that rather than write down details, you can load other peoples’ XMP files. Select your raw in lighttable then use “load sidecar file” under “history stack”.
After seeing other edits, I don’t like mine anymore. So I tried once again, this time I tried to get a more accurate night feeling and also I cropped the image.
Mainly using darktable for my edits, but sometimes I wish to see what other software on my computer is capable of. If there is a rule that only FOSS can be used in Playraw-topics, I have no problem withdrawing my post.
