[PlayRaw] Autumn dawn

This is something for the shadows and highlights department. The bottom area is very dark and at the horizon there are small overexposed areas.

My quick&dirty take with rt:

Thanks!

Another quicky, this time with PhotoFlow

Basic stuf (dynamic range compression, filmic and contrast. I’m struggling with PhF’s denoise, still couldn’t find a way to go…)

Here is an attempt using GIMP to get some details from the shadows.

My try. How do I deal with the orange clipping in RT 5.5 ?

And DxO

Have you tried this?

I think the last two steps are all you need. That easy.

@DxO-user another thing, if you’re still not satisfied, try using other Methods, where Blend is the default. Color Propagation may suit this specific image…

Clippings are gone. But if I starts adding vibrance , the clipping will come back , but not by so much.
Is there a way to add vibrance and avoid clipping ?

Imho, clipping should not be always corrected. Sometimes clipped highlights cant be avoided and also look not real if ‘corrected’, especially when shooting into the sun(set/down) as in this case

Masking? (But I don’t know how to do that in RT…)

In my watermelon, I recovered highlights, but not that much (I agree with @heckflosse) . After that, any edit I applied would blow up that region again, so I had to mask it.

I guess masking would be easy to do in darktable ( I don’t
use dt ), but I don’t think it is possible in RT .

I don’t know , have just been using RT for a few weeks…

Only the red channel is clipped.
I can’t achieve the tone I want when I bring down the saturation of the reds in the highlights: @heckflosse has a point I think.

@DxO-user Reading Vibrance - RawPedia might give you a better idea of what the vibrance tool is about. You might be expecting it to work the same way as DxO or PS.
