alberto as i said u obtained a truly better result than me, and i’m thankful for your help i would lurk from your pp3 too and grasp some info from. if u give a look of the couple of link i posted u would see that retinex could do amazing thing, and i’m sure the implementation on RT could do the same, the thing is How…
Jdc, u give us a wonderful set of instruments, and in rawpedia there’s the explanation, and eg for wavelet is pretty extensive… but are too complex, to grasp (at least for me), without something simple and stupid, to follow.
The taste in the result is ininfluent in this case the scope is not have a pretty picture is understand a tool.
Ihmo is matter of have a basic example of how the tool work in order to understand it. And not playing in an empyrical way, a base to start from, the floor. where to put feet on.
EG:
As example in the link below we have, input various method, (unexplained) but i could grasp how it works, (the mask).
Non-Local Image Dehazing
In our case with Retinex (could be valid for everything)
I fatigue to find someone better than you that could make a basic example, input–>result, and at side the explanation of the parameters, and why,
is like teaching 1+1=2 to someone that do not understand the simbol 1 done with a couple of apples became more easy.
I understand that you could have, nor the time, or the patience or the will, you are already doing a lot of work, but is a pity, some instruments into rawtherapee are there, but are much more less used cause not undestood, and if u notice there’s just googling, when we come to rawtherapee that could blow out of water almost 90% of other software out there, there’s few too few or no tutorials on the advanced tools…
cheers.
