Aaand here is my contribution
RawTherapee only. Exported then resized in RawTherapee with post resize sharpening enabled. Exported both times with best quality at 90% JPG.
I got used to doing this for most portraits shoots I do. I don’t want to forget to export the full size as well. It is possible that it could have yielded a higher quality scaled down file had I done it in one step …but for what it’s worth, it’s due to my workflow. I finish an edit and export it full size. Then do resizing and manipulations on that.
Ok, thanks for explanation I asked because PR sharpening is made especially to save the intermediate step when you only want to sharpen on the resized image.
I’ve been trying to get a handle on RawTherapee and thought this to be a good one for a skin vs other colour(s) edit. It also gave me an excuse (as if I need one…) to play with wavelets. That one is really nice
I’m not at all disappointed with it. Did go for a neutral look: Skin needed to be acceptable and Mairi’s shirt needed to be white. No artistic intentions, just a “real” representation.
I did have a problem with sharpness with this one, something that hasn’t happened before with RT. I’m kinda impressed with the detail I can normally produce with it. I’ll figure it out…
EDIT: When I looked this morning I noticed that her shirt had a strange colourcast, must have been staring at the screen for too long a time yesterday. Anyway: Fixed it and re-uploaded the image.
