edit image in darktable (1)
export as 16 bit greyscale tif, import to gimp, image > mode > rgb
create new image, fill it with gradients including greyscale black to white, go to the palette menu, import palette from that, sort palette
go back to imported image, select newly created palette, colors > map > palette map
your greyscale image now has colors inserted into it based on an algorithm i dont fully undesrtand (2, 3).
came across this tool in my quest for introducing false color to a greyscale image to cover grey tones lost in the export to 8bit jpg from higher bit depth raws. this doesn't end up doing that, but it looks pretty cool
it doesnt look like this at all in person
the dither goes silly on this one (first image dithered gif second image jpg)
dead end of mall. behind a fairly busy intersection. we sat on those little tables staring forward at the plastic wall for about an hour. many passersby were confused, concerned, scared, or just plain amused. we didn't really mean to commit to the idea for so long it just sorta happened.
surprisingly few of these left unedited in the backlog. i take this exact shot so often. i'll prbobably figure out a place online to put them all next to each other someday
the final product is nothing what the preview window looked like. experimenting with masked sections of posterization and sections of dither
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.
