So I revisited (again) a last year’s picture, this time a photo of nice looking
beech leaves. I made a new version of this pic using Filmic v5 instead of Sigmoid and I’m pretty happy with the results. It feels a bit dark, but I’m already pushing the red channel and yellows start to look washed out if I increase exposure any further… so I’m curious what you do.
So here is my attempt with Sigmoid. The main trick here is that I have gone to color zones module and used it as exposure adjustment tool based on color. So I have brighten the yellow leaves to contrast with the background. It may be too dark for your taste, But I want the contrast of a dark background and lighter leaves. DSC_5100.NEF.xmp (9.6 KB)
