Photoflow: luminosity masks issues

[gadolf (Gustavo Adolfo)]

@RawConvert

it will be interesting to see what you make of the street photo and how it compares with the others in the recent play raw thread and the scene-referred editing method.

Sure,

[Play Raw] Luminosity masks

Another try, this time using luminosity masks in Photoflow, [enfused_CRW_3008-3012-cw05sw06] enfused_CRW_3008-3012-cw05sw06.pfi (113.1 KB) I did almost the same workflow as @Carmelo_DrRaw above, but on the final step I decided to use a modified version of luminosity masks in PF: instead of three luminosity masks, I used nine (like L, LL, LLL, M, …)

@RawConvert

I always thought that the more extreme curves are, and especially if they have corners, then the more likely unpleasant artefacts will result.

@RawConvert Could you please repeat this question in that thread? I think it belongs there.

@RawConvert Anyway, I don’t know the answer, but I suspect that the blur layer above the curves is to address the issue. From my experience on this exercise, I realized that tweaking the blur radius, as well as the mask slider, you can’t get rid off the artefacts.
