[Play Raw] local edits revisited

A theme that I’m not particularly fond of, still a good exercise for local editing. I wanted to darken the sky and get the water with more contrast.

Plus the new tone equalizer/filmic RGB couple.

Was it windy? How long would it take for you to commute from there to the mountain?

Now I can be less nagging. :relieved:

By plane: a couple of seconds. I’m practically at the runaway head of the local airport. Some thirty years ago a Cessna hit the mountain.
By kayak: some 30 to 40 minutes.
By foot: :clock130:
By bike: same as kayak
By bus: …

Switch to another target :wink:

EDIT:

Not much. This is not a windy city (unfortunately)

I tried with Filmic RGB and with Tone Equalizer; I’ve had some pleasing results with them. However for this pic I found local contrast more helpful.

Amazing! I have to pay more attention to that module.

I didn’t get why turning off channel mixer gives a strong sepia look.
Anyway, very nice, minimalist edit.

I just went in to take a look. I turned off RGB channels and it did look very yellow. I checked out the RGB tone curves, but disabling them did not make much of a change. The last remaining item is the White Balance, which is in fact the reason for the yellow cast.

Here’s why:
When I created this preset, I began by making some changes to the RGB channels; adding blue to the green and so on to my liking, and then probably adjusted the White Balance to make white stuff look white. I know this goes against the rule of using custom white balance as a creative tool, but alas, it is what I did. :stuck_out_tongue:
