raw from the Q, not demosaiced, channel mixed, tone curved, and then b&w converted in rawtherapee. editing a non-demosaiced image is uhhh annoying. the preview is no help, even the 1:1 zoom is not exactly accurate either.
then, export to darktable, blur tool used on 4px radius, local contrast tool blasted because the image was too flat, trial and error exporting until result is acceptable.
is the end result any different from the demosaiced image? uhhh it's nearly impossible to compare, the second image is all the exact same edits, just with AMAZE demosaic in rawtherapee and the blur turned off in darktable, and it's a completely different result so no 1 to 1 comparison can be made. if anything at all it illustrates how distinctly different these 2 editing pipelines are despite only swapping one module for another.
for fun, same process just without the b&w conversion in rt and with white balance in dt in images 3 and 4

edited a photo nifty took
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

the major difference i think is that colors are weighted when demosaiced, so you had to do it fully manually when non-demosaiced. you might be able to reproduce it. any way, i like the end result, and the pink one is so cute
