With RawTherapee latest dev branch pull running on auto-built docker container. If you have docker you can docker pull kd6kxr/rawtherapee-dev or have a look at the Dockerfile. I’ve added a command to also update lensfun database.

I didn’t enable denoise because it flattened the highlights, for some reason.
Edit: with HIRAM’s tips

@HIRAM how did you bring out the bokeh?

I neutralized the white balance on a certain piece of concrete, to eliminate the orangish haze, and then lowered brightness, ramped up the contrast, and enhanced the chromatic channels with various sliders.

Interesting building. Reminds me of the evilbuildings subreddit.

Every up and coming super villain aspires to create a particularly evil lair…

My sky mask is pretty sloppy, but I have to get back to work!

@gRuGo merci for the piradimage and to all pips tweasting arms, yoooo, up up :wave:

 
I liked what Hiram did, so I just applied a corrosive LUT in g’mic within gimp and played with transfusion packs (blend modes, don’t get mad). Grain and sharpening and 1 deg rotat and crop and save and voilà =)

Along the way many interesting byproducts

@gRuGo: That’s Hamburg? Thanks for the image. A little overexposed.

An attempt to give Sci-Fi look using RawTherapee dev 5.4-409-g99caa76f7

I felt inspired.

First steps done in RawTherapee, giving this:

Then I used my G’MIC “illustration look” filter in Gimp, followed by “freaky detail” to give this on the top layer:

I used G’MIC separate the foreground from the background sky, applied some gaussian blur to the sky, did some cloning/healing to give this final result:

Great highlight recovery, @sguyader!

Hi @paperdigits, hi all,
I tried to import the cr2 with @paperdigits’ xmp, but darktable crashed. Has anybody had the same experience? I used the picture import, darktable 2.4.4, win10. Bachtrace is incluced below. Under Linux import worked fine…

I mentioned evilbuildings, but the more I looked at it, the more I wanted it to be hopeful. I present to you the Lunar Space Elevator where the UV back light is so very intense.

1. PhotoFlow → WB (none) → HL (blend mode) → DM (AMaZE, Lin Rec.2020, clip negatives).
2. gmic → B&W (copy) → dark and bright output.
3. enfuse → fuse dark and bright.
4. gmic → brighten → add contrast.
5. pnmclahe → add local contrast.
6. gmic → blend result with original to regain “colour” → negative → rotate → crop → resize → sharpen → add textures → zoom 100% to enjoy!

A bit late to the party, but this is such a nice image to work on… Thanks for that!

Here’s my take on it in darktable. I tried to go for a cinematic, somewhat moody atmosphere.
