As discussed over here: Schoena at the cottage: photo critique

Here is the raw file for my portrait of Schoena for your editing pleasure :slight_smile:

I’ve included the most recent pp3 file. There are a few listed for this image, I hope this is the relevant version.

Do you have a RAW File? Sometimes discourse acts up with the upload for me, too. Restarting the browser usually fixes it.

3

I tried restarting the browser without success. Can you download the RAW from FLICKR? I think I’m supposed to be allowed to share RAWs from that account.

4

Nope, I can only find the jpg there.

5

finally. Took four tries, closing the browser twice :person_shrugging:

My play with darktable 5.4.1. Technically challenging for me. I took it into a different direction then you.

here my take using just spektrafilm, wb daylight, portra 400 and endura premier, diffusion filter on the enlarger lens. haven’t tried to denoise, the noise blends ok in the grain though :slight_smile:

The playraw allowed me to appreciate how a good an edit you did for your original post. I don’t like my edit as much as your edit. So well done with your editing of a nice capture.

She’s beautiful! (edit: Sorry I think my subconscious was determined to say this after reading her name is the same word in German)
Everything after history item 34 is small tweaks and dialling back the denoising.
I don’t know her exact colour so I kept her slightly more red than my own ginger+white boy.
Also added a little blue/orange because of the time of day.

My attempt. I’m happy with everything but the noise reduction.

Then you will hate mine :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :rofl:, even though I stayed away from too aggressive noise reduction deliberatly ( guess what, I like your noise treatment):

With Filmulator:

  • Demosaic Method on (LMMSE) for lower noise
  • Temperature 5460.7 to warm things up
  • Noise Reduction on
  • NR Strength 16.33
  • Speckle NR Strength 2.826
  • Chroma NR Strength 25.5
  • Highlight Brightness 1000 to crisp up the whites

I actually didn’t use any Drama beyond the default because it only flattened the image further.

Such a lovely photo
All done in RT - I just sent it to gimp to scale (Not worked out how to do that yet in RT)

I tried further in gimp and did the desaturated background.

A few enhancements followed by selective vignetting. :slight_smile:
