I love to wander the woods in the morning. All sorts of light like this; nice capture.

A scene like this provides its own vignette. I just used a filmic curve to push the shadows down and lift the light. Highlight recovery, because the parts outside the shade usually blow.

I threw a saved style on which I knew I had pushed saturation.
Originally the saved style was for indoor karting at night, but I think works quite nicely bringing out the golden light.

I’ve tried to express the feeling I have in such situations: the high contrast between light and dark areas, and the dreamy effect of the beams of light.

A really nice shot, thanks for sharing!


Filmulator, -0.67EV, max. film area, white clipping 0.72624, shadow brightness 49.724, highlight brightness 1000, vibrance 69 (I guess it’s too much, but seemed nice when I did it :-)).

Very nice shot indeed! As the others, I tried to emphasize the contrast between the light rays and the forest. However, both global and local contrast do not cut it in my opinion, hence I used a drawn mask to reduce the brightness in the corners and draw the eye towards the center.

A very beautiful image which I have no doubt spoilt!
Done in GIMP, using a luminosity plugin to adjust brightness and saturation in various areas. Followed by slight sharpening with wavelet decompose.

Beautiful photo
I didn’t like any of the edits I did in colour so I tried for Black and white.
After selecting the preset (18) in Silver Effects, I added a slight blue tint to make it more Silver looking.

Nice edit… what role does saturation play in Haze removal? The control is seen in dev, but not in 5.8

The, lets call it original, haze removal tool you find in 5.8 stable added too much saturation. Too much or too little isn’t all that scientific, but there was no way to adjust this to your liking. There’s also a possible luminance issue with this version.

@heckflosse created and put forward this PR: Possible enhancement for haze removal #5972 and this one solves the above issues and is already merged into the development branch.

This was done about a year ago so all the pre-build 5.8 development versions floating around out there (Linux, OSX, Windows) have this new one.
