my try attached. i really don't like the overly saturated colours in the dpreview example, also the black fringes (several 10s of pixels wide) around the high contrast edges look displeasing to me. looks like something like our shadows/highlights has been applied, but without the bilateral blur, with a std gaussian one.
to better match the image, i pushed up colour contrast a little in the sky, but didn't go as crazy as they did.. cheers, jo On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 12:14 AM, Martin Schoepf <[email protected]> wrote: > i got a fairly good image with the following modules: > base-curve (off) > tone-curve- low contrast > shadows and higlights: shadow: 90 with bilateral filter: radius 175 > chromatic aberrations > white balance: 6500k > graduated density: 2.50ev with blue hue and 0.09 saturation > > i also added > velvia > local contrast > > > Hope that helps somebody. > > cheers, > Martin > > 2015-01-06 1:01 GMT+01:00 David Vincent-Jones <[email protected] > >: > >> An interesting take : >> Tone Mapping: cc=1.6, se=0 >> Shad/High: with shadow =66 >> White Bal: temp=7300 >> >> Looks quite different .... ! >> >> David >> >> >> On Tuesday, January 06, 2015 00:07 Markus Jung wrote: >> > I have attached a first try. >> > >> > Covering such a large dynamic range is not simple.
