jpg has 8 bits per channel meaning it can display only 256 distinct shades of gray.
camera raws tend to have lots more bits than that. is there a way to fit more of these grays into the evil format we call jpg?
perhaps we can dither the higher bit depth data into the jpg? darktable has a dither option but im not surrrrrrre if its doing what im talking about here. i think this is something i need to play around with in gimp.
my other idea for fitting that higher tonal data into a jpg is to use false colors to represent more gray tones, producing a fun gradient of colors from light to dark??
anyway whatever heres a picture with the darktable dither on auto and with it on 1 bit for fun.
she went to the diner with us because it was important that the waitress there met her
return of subtle toning, this time less subtle (but still subtle)

all these years and hundreds of miles and i'm still playing videogames with people late into the night where the best move for hot food and snacks is to go down to the local gas station. truly a time honored tradition
you read about the usa 100 years ago and you go "damn it sounds like getting attacked by wild dogs was like a coming of age thing- a sort of tragedy that befell the old masters, that necessitated a whole profession around catching and preventing the formation of roving dog packs, what happened to us as a country? why don't i ever get attacked by wild dogs like the artists whose work so inspires me?" and then it happens to you and you go "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I See"
