I went to the Singapore Botanic Gardens recently and saw some nice plants. Here’s one of them for you guys to play with.

Thank you, that is a very nice picture to play with.

Tried not to over do it while still shuffling a little bit the colors. I like the low contrast/soft aspect so I did not over corrected the DR or added too much local contrast.

Nice subject! Thanks for sharing!

Here’s a version using darktable, with a heavy crop that isolates the subject from a busy background, to focus on the flowers:

Here’s the uncropped version of the same edit, with some selective tone equalizers to de-emphasize the surroundings (especially on the lower half of the photo) and local contrast around the flowers (thanks to the diffuse or sharpen module)

I just finished an edit…now how do I upload in a non-downloadable format?
I’m still not familiar with how this forum works yet…

[priort (Todd Prior)]

Upload your jpg… usually I do a std HD resolution at about 80 % quality in DT… And upload your xmp for the edit as well… if RT or ART the same… upload the export and the side car

[AdamFromCanada (Adam Severeid)]

Well, I may have gotten the image, but still haven’t gotten the EXIF data…I’ll look in to that some more, as I do plan to upload more photos soon enough.
OOf…can see the results of not having a calibrated monitor.

DT 4.4.2

[PD1 (PD)]

Here’s my version. A slight crop to remove the bright sky and also to bring the orchids in focus. Have kept the foliage to bring a balance. worked with the dev version of DT

Here is my version. I took the long route

A linear export

Then an experimental conversion to a negative using data from Kodak Vision50D

And finally a conversion using darktable and negadoctor

Still not perfect, but hopefully you will like the genuine analog colors.

Nice, the colors look similar to the Vision3 50D LUT I have. Your process has a gentler contrast which I prefer though. May I know more about this “experimental conversion”?
