Thanks, @billznn for the droppings =)
is that for the picture or some type of beverage with coffee?
It is amazing (if only taking that into account) how many variations can brown have, I’ll venture one per set of dev’s eyes, so many millions, je je and the textures!!!
For this experience, I brought along an interview with one of me idoltriments {teenager with wet undies, ja ja aj, lol and all that} George Carlin that I’ve been wanting to watch for quite a long time – if u interested, it revolves around Carlin’s upbringing, career and life >> here – it served as soundtrack and distraction / relief while photocrost was chewing into pixels.
The still, I did like its inclination, it kind of went well along the lines of the movement if you catch my dripping, maybe not so much the framing and that was my first todo in the todo list I didn’t write. Along with this abstraction I had like a tingling… too subtle to be a pain and yet too present to ignore what it wanted ( I had a pain that wanted may use this as a title), sorry I digress, it wanted soft yet detailed. I rushed to take my meds and sacrificed a couple hundred million bacteria in order to restore the order.
Everything is melting … mantra was that’s not diarrhea
Once the main “character” of the picture’s light & colour was set, I tried ( just stocked a pile in pure laziness) to punctuate and balance a soft(er) light from top right, the glass’ shadow on the left and details inside the glass. I was pleased (achtung!!) with the process so far BUT {type of negative in d bkgd} PhF was tearing badly the space-time construction fabric trying to export this unwanted being, arrrggghhh!!! Tried to export in two stages, did not work; so in the end, just scaled the hell down of the drippings’ soul.
TLDR
PhotoFlow took me till here:

A bit sad {my left face’s side} and laughing 'cause of Carlin went into Gimp (partha’s build) as a workshop for g’mic. Further pursued the idea of soft yet detailed with tweaking a homemade LUT ( detrito_especial for personal REF), DRI and the most obnoxious and time-consuming blend modes moves. Though it had crossed my mind to genocide, I mean denoise (grade - denoise - grain scream the industry experts) was too late, I’d become quite fond of the texture… so added grain, a pinch.
TLDR
With Gimp & G’mic ended here:
Here’s a bit of the experience’s diagram :P, cheers
As an aside, nlmeans is too much for my laptop to handle, so I haven’t been using it.
