[PlayRaw] Hawkcraig Pier

As I said above, this photo is fine even though there is room for improvement. (@Brian_Innes Can’t wait for Hawkcraig Pier part 2, when you get the chance!) The main problem that I had was a lack of inspiration in terms of post-processing, so I just tried a bunch of things. Feedback appreciated on what else I could do.

  1. PhotoFlow
    a) wb (shade), exposure (0-3, blend), hot pixels + lens corrections, aces linear (clip negative values)
    b) tone mapping (filmic), crop (φ, gcd=8)

  2. enfuse 0-3

  3. gmic
    a) clip negative values, apply gamma, separate L and CH
    b) denoise (guided filter), redistribute values, denoise again, combine L and CH
    c) edit (forgot to list) clipped top 10% to increase saturation
    d) prep for your viewing pleasure
