view of it in darktable before export second

its not it
not yet
requires further development

ultra close crop on the lips one

the final product is nothing what the preview window looked like. experimenting with masked sections of posterization and sections of dither

what is a redgraph? it's one photo taken with a red filter, one with no filter, then the difference between the two becomes the green and blue layers and the red one is the red layer. then a little bit more editing and voila, it's horrifying! for extra fun i took a buncha redgraphs without a tripod so everything has that anaglyph 3d eyesore to it!

its like a trichrome without the tri part?? it's a less-involved and more loose version of a thing I did nearly a year ago: https://streak.club/p/56991/trichrome-by-999999999

hmmmmmmm

getting really weird with the editing here
Q+03, raws nondemosaiced, channel mixed to hell, contrast blasted, 1-bit dithered at half size

just put a piece of paper on top of the scanner and boom it fixes the light angle problem. still gotta remove the lights from the scanning head though it washes out the image .. and maybe gotta look into writing custom scanner firmware to actually control exposure cuz once those clouds went away i was just getting pure white captures (oh wait i could just make an aperture for the lens. lollll). this shot turned out nice though

not the best finder and not lined up at all cuz i couldnt build much of a good contraption. but hey, "medium format" shot

continued experiments in editing

i could probably spend hours trying to get the texture to look right, but this is okay.

reverse tone work ?

playing around with this one

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
