Let’s see what is feasible …
Umm… just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should
Playing with a kind of sinusoidal tone curves gives surreal images, which actually may work, if you are lucky with the subject and careful enough with the curves. Recall for example pseudo-solarization effect from the film era, as a starting point.
Yes, and I too have done that and got some images that have pleased me (and many more I quickly scrapped). I’m not at my main PC at the moment but I’ll try to find, and share, one of those images later.
When I do, @gserim can respond in kind and be equally brutally about my image. It would by a very dull world if we all agreed all the time
Haha, but you learn a lot about the tool and how to use the tonal values - to the extreme.
I can try it, but I don’t know if I’ll be successful
The appearance after these manipulations often violates the sense of color. However, I like to do this in between in order to bring back more reality to the further photo editing
Here you go, what think you if this one?
Reminds me somehow of a picture I saw in an exhibition - hanging on a concrete wall. It was interesting because the background was cold and gray.
