@dinasset,
An impressive result on the tomb photograph!

I agree with you, David. Amazing result on the tomb by Dinasset. But David, yours is great, too. :kpix

This result is nice too imo.

and this other one.

Good job, Issabella.
I played a bit on your first image with a post-processing step (which somehow can be applied where colors are too "stressed")
1-taken your outcome
2-duplicated
3-desaturated
4-added a mask
5-applied on the mask a gradient linear top down
Here the PP outcome

I liked your process (post 25) and I have applied it on this one.

Beautiful castle Pat.

Thank you Dinasset. It really adds to the image some highlights and clarity.

Thanks Pat.
Have you tried also to combine both?
PseudoHDR over the Original in SOFTLIGHT_MODE?
Not bad at all if you like color contrast (I like it). A "collateral" possibility....

Of course it depends also on the monitor used

G'MICs Tone Enhancer 2 (by garagecoder) plus Gimp levels gives this.

dinasset · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2016 11:28 am **(#35)**

I tried running this script and I received this error:

Thanks.
Double-checked just now.
Run it on an image using defaults: no errors. (Maybe some other one can try it).
It could be an incompatibility of your version of G'MIC, because this one is the only point in the filter where G'mic is used.
I will provide soon a version without G'mic.
In the meantime check your G'mic installation.

My version of G'MIC is 1.7.9. It works on default settings. The error comes in when you say yes to Denoise Final Out come? (good for people)

@mackenzieh.
Just published the SE version without G'MIC.

Could you try it?
