A beautiful scene. Here is my own take which is a result of using RT but in two stages. I did the first one in which the biggest thing I did was to push color saturation much more than I normally would. After finishing and saving the output, I later went back and used RT again but this time to process the previously saved jpeg version. After finishing I found that I liked the original sky somewhat better so merged the two images so as to add back in some of the original sky.
Have been testing my dehaze filter and centring the processing on it. Looks like it requires both pre- and post-processing steps to keep the stats healthy.
photoflow: minimal. gmic: filter pixels, centre crop (90%), curves (HLG, brightness, contrast), my dehaze A, curves (HLG, brightness, contrast) B, blend A B (to tame sky), curves (brightness, contrast), sharpen (LoG), resize.
Yes, I am using G’MIC CLI; however, the commands that I used are my own.
The bare bones version of dehaze_afre is done but I need to do some more field testing, fix a few bugs, and add a few touches to make it simpler to use and adaptable to more situations.
Thanks for info.
GMI’C needs few tutorials, help files, books, which are applicable for fresher versions. Even simple stuff like exporting image to 16 bit integer tif are achieved via trial and error.
Pity, such powerful program but hardly anybody knows how to use it.
One more try at object mapping! I’m not 100% happy, but I think it’s okay for now :]
Used this photo and this model by rich33584 from blendswap! Thanks for the wonderful photo!
I know this is an old one but the jpeg popped up on my hard drive and I thought why not give it a go with gimp…
…and I mean a real go!!
So here’s to manipulating images in Gimp:
