Hi, I just discovered a big advantage for me when I select in Tone Curves > Mode > Weighted Standard.
Standard is way too saturated, Neutral is better but sometimes still too intense. Especially for the Panasonic Lumix S5M2, which usually makes faces too magenta cast, this setting is the best. My question: What does Weighted Standard mean and what exactly does this setting do? I would like to understand this better.
It’s nice that you can switch so easily between Neutral and Weigthed Standard, depending on the subject.
I have often commented on this feature and pointed to the really dramatically different results you can get between modes… esp when people were complaining or asking question about color in RT and ART…
Hi @priort,
that’s good information, even if I don’t fully understand the content straight away. It’s amazing how much less correction work I have now when I use Neutral or Weightet Standard. With Standard, I had to work very hard to reduce the excess colour, especially red, in the faces.
What surprises me is that I used to love using “Perceptual” with RatTherapee - this mode is no good at all with ART. Could it be that ART works very differently to RT in this area?
Because my enthusiasm is now so great, I would like to show a picture here where Weighted Standard saves me so much reworking - on the left Standard, my previous setting, on the right Weighted Standard, the first choice for this motif:
