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

poisoned shadow sweeping across the land, a giant needle and thread, a cult who eats godslime to become children again

the green that is present in the image at embed size is fascinating to me because it was not created intentionally at all. more glitchy process stuff primarily abusing making lots of instances of tools in darktable and changing the processing order. style ive been experimenting with in my earlier pose extractions and such. this one is a lot less imagedestructiony though, and i feel like the glitchcolors compliment the original photo, something i dont achieve often (usually more experimental editing for me results in a loss of what originally brought me to press the shutter button)

todays combination of things. moving fast, not happy with a lot of em but thats less important than just sharpening the workflow here
