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
you know the drill
portrait -> scale pixels -> landscape
something compels me to point the camera at the sky even without color, and every time i actually get to editing them i go "ehh whyyy". we know why, the sky is beautiful. but its hard to capture.
todays theme i guess, not all bangers but heyyy it's Cars.
uneasy framing
day and day
i think i still prefer doing tonecurves in rawtherapee then local contrast in darktable over agx :p #mymethod (theyre pretty similar in end result but my way just feels more predictable and consistent. using rawtherapee to create the shape of the curve then exposure tool works like the pivot and the local contrast stretching finetunes the curve and lets me choose whether i want a grayer more detailed image or a more smooth and high contrasty image which is like the black point white point settings i think but just. wayy more intuitive imo)
