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
she went to the diner with us because it was important that the waitress there met her
return of subtle toning, this time less subtle (but still subtle)

all these years and hundreds of miles and i'm still playing videogames with people late into the night where the best move for hot food and snacks is to go down to the local gas station. truly a time honored tradition
you read about the usa 100 years ago and you go "damn it sounds like getting attacked by wild dogs was like a coming of age thing- a sort of tragedy that befell the old masters, that necessitated a whole profession around catching and preventing the formation of roving dog packs, what happened to us as a country? why don't i ever get attacked by wild dogs like the artists whose work so inspires me?" and then it happens to you and you go "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I See"

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
