both images processed in darktable, first exported to jpg, the other exported to 16bit tif, imported to gnu imp, dithered to 8 bits, then exported as jpg.
viewed at 1:1 zoom from a distance far enough that the dither artifacts become invisible the second image should theoretically appear to have more gray tones? i'm not really seeing it though. maybe the lx3 takes low bit depth images, maybe its my monitor, maybe this is just a bad image for it (the effect would be most obvious in gradients). actually, the dithered image appears to lose detail in the darkest shadows so ??? perhaps this is a dead end for now

and that finishes what we started back in october. there's various other photoshoots i've been avoiding touching but I think I'm ready to get em done now.

coming back to this shoot with a better idea of how to edit it

redgraph can really be foul huh

without a prominent red in the scene getting the balance right between the two shots is very vibes

what is a redgraph? it's one photo taken with a red filter, one with no filter, then the difference between the two becomes the green and blue layers and the red one is the red layer. then a little bit more editing and voila, it's horrifying! for extra fun i took a buncha redgraphs without a tripod so everything has that anaglyph 3d eyesore to it!

its like a trichrome without the tri part?? it's a less-involved and more loose version of a thing I did nearly a year ago: https://streak.club/p/56991/trichrome-by-999999999

image #3 with bouba has some masking stuff going on to bring out midgrey detail in the environment but still keep her fur contrasty black and white im proud of the result
