This is such a nice photo, one more edit. Now a much more conservative edit with ART, GIMP and G’MIC:

I have been scanning several thousand 35mm slides that were taken by an uncle of mine (passed a few years ago) that had recently been discovered his children. While reviewing them this morning I almost choked when I saw this:

This was taken about 40 years ago but unable to shed light on the location. Small world.

If you remove the color cast from this photo (I couldn’t resist, I hope you don’t mind.), you get the following result. I liked it for comparison.

I don’t mind at all - thanks for your interest.

CTL Script: RGB sigmoid curve

I have developed and published an RGB sigmoid curve script. *Purpose of this script The main purpose of developing this script is to provide a tool for more efficient restoration and editing of faded film or photographic prints images. In photographs with appropriate colors, especially landscapes, their R, G, and B histograms generally have a similar shape, although with some degree of deviation. In this case, if we take the correlation coefficients between the R, G, and B pixels, they are of…

My go at it. I wanted to make it a bit more dreamy so I added some negative clarity. I achieve negative clarity by using the contrast equalizer with a parametric mask so it mostly affects the midtones.

I think this more closely mimics what Lightroom does when adjusting clarity
