>>4297946alright, played with these earlier this week but didn't have time to post anything
disclaimer I use darktable, RT terminology/modules will be different
this is a comparison of
>>4297646 on the top left,
>>4297648 on the top right, my basic typical edit on the bottom left, and a more involved edit to push sky saturation on the bottom right
I typically go for a pretty minimal edit myself, with just technical and tone curve adjustments, just my taste
that's what I did on the bottom left, first applied my current standard profile then tweaked a little
current profile:
>sigmoid tonemapping>as-shot white balance (I always use daylight in-camera WB aka neutral, even under tungsten)>in-camera exposure adjust compensation>highlight reconstruction>hot pixel correctionafter that I added lens correction (all three distortion+vignetting+latCA because landscape), and pulled down the sky exposure with the tone equalizer
then to tweak it closer to what appears your taste, I adjusted chroma +9% shadow saturation -30% highlight saturation +38%
on the bottom right, I started with my basic profile + lens correction again
then I added three separate tone equalizers with masks:
>mid-tone pull-up, gradient mask on snow>mid-high-tone pull-down, gradient mask on sky>mid-low-tone pull-up, bezier mask on buildings & left foreground vegetationthen I cranked up the global saturation +88%, multi-part mask: gradient on sky and beziers on the bigger puddles to match
