[PlayRaw] Misty Path

Looking forward to your new edit!

Meanwhile, here comes a second version of mine, with a better tonal balance in the foreground, and grainy versions of the B&W edit:

B&W

B&W small grain

B&W medium grain

PFI file: DSC_0539-2.pfi (81.2 KB)

The tool I used to generate the grainy versions is briefly introduced here. It is not open-sourced yet, but I plan to put the code on github in the near future.

@chroma_ghost could you share the .PFI file that could not be exported? I have edited the above images with version 0.2.8 and had no issues at all. However I have only used few tools (basic adjustments, curves and gradients). Maybe there is some specific tool that is causing troubles…

Sure thing Dr. Cool! It might have been slightly different values for the RAW developer module, but negligible overall

I love all the latest versions of the “misty path” image. If I really have to pick a favourite, I’d probably say @Carmelo_DrRaw’s second colour is hard to beat.

The tricolour effect (Hungarian flag? Or Indian flag?) is clearly a dominant theme, and I really like how it has been a) emphasised, b) de-emphasised, or c) just smashed to pieces in a couple of the interpretations.

Thank you again!

I’m really glad you like it!!! I think this is a very good example of how powerful masks-based local editing can be with certain images…

Haven’t worked through a digital camera pic in a while (my main image work is with film scans). Fun, nice looking landscape in the vertical, if a little soft on focus. :slight_smile: Ripped this off quick.

Hi there,
I’m new on this site. PlayRaw is a nice idea!
This is my version. I just did some tweaks in Darktable…

I like the b&w variants from @Carmelo_DrRaw

Here is my try: I tried to have an overall harmonic lighting as the viewer would perceive it when having eyes wandering across the scene. Furthermore as the sky provides the one and only illumination I added a little bit of red glowing to the meadow to have an overall consisten color impression.

And here is the XMP (Darktable):

I did not invest more than 15 minutes but tried to get it as close as possible to my philosophy of trying to get a picture giving a viewer the possibility to reproduce what the original scene would have looked like (knowing that a human being does not capture a flat image at an average exposure but having a very adaptive cognitive and optical appartus built in).

Immanuel.
