Rising Cloudbase

I read this forum since some time, but this is my first play raw and I am a darktable beginner. This photo was taken some time ago around the famous lake Hallstatt. I’d be happy to see your version. In my edit, I tried to retain as much details from the clouds as possible…

Welcome aboard. Tried here to pull out the contrast in the clouds.

Maybe change the green a little and overall stretch the histogram…

Welcome, @verflieger! Thanks for sharing such a stunning capture. Couldn’t resist the scope crop — your composition looks like a shot out of a Terrence Malick film.

Thank you for this very natural look. What is your idea behind the 7 instances of colorbalance?

dqpcoxeas · October 28, 2024, 6:27pm

Thank you.
The reason for the 7 instances of colour balance rgb, is that I usually use some presets to identify and select the colours in a photograph so that I can work with them independently.

Best regards and welcome
