Panasonic DMC-GX7 - Difficult sunrise image for RawTherapee

Software RawTherapee
9

edit:

the list of profiles shipped is located in <RTinstalldir>/dcpprofiles.
@Morgan_Hardwood is the specialist here. As he is picky on the quality of images and use of tungsten lamp, he can help you to take the photos. With the photos he generates the DCP with Dcamprof I think. See for instance Adding Support for New Raw Formats : RICOH GR III

Procedure used:

  • first as No GX7 profile is shipped with RT, I extracted from Adobe DNG converter Panasonic DMC-GX7 Adobe Standard.dcp, and put it in some directory.

  • after opening your photo, I go to color/color management I check custom and I select the file in the directory. check only base table and look table.

  • then as the sun is overexposed, in exposure tab check highlight reconstruction/color propagation. You can use highlight compression to get back the overexposed pixels (in the top of sun).

  • auto matched tone curve doesn’t hurt.
