Thought I would give this a try. Liked the challenge of taming the sun and fur. Suits my appetite for developing new techniques and trying new features from our lovely [px] devs.
1. PhotoFlow → WB (daylight) → HL mode (blend) → CA correction → Lin Rec.2020 (no clipping) → DR correction → Tone mapping (Reinhard).
2. gmic → fill negatives → darken backlight → brighten (copy) → average → darken sky.
3. pnmclahe → increase local contrast.
4. gmic → decrease global contrast.
5. GIMP → G’MIC inpaint filter (multi-scale) → smudge → healing.
6. gmic → resize → crop → sharpen (edge).
Enjoy!
