I’ve been struggling with this one for a while and am curious what you guys might make of it. Its a telephoto of wavy-cushiony clouds during a january sunset.

My take

Hi, personally I like to play with the color calibration module in order to have a more centered image in terms of colors. This brings back some pretty blue colors :slight_smile:

Made with darktable nightly build 5.1.0+826~g0a226690c1 on windows 11

I couldn’t resist the lovely blue sky look. DT5.1. color calibration module auto correction to gray target value.
