Looks like the enlightenment in an experimental video 
I’ve edited several photos like this (bumpy tonal curve, old way over-sharpening, microcontrast halos) but never managed to get them that clean. How did you get that, if it’s not your cooking secret?
The SOOC JPEG looks like this:
It’s a jam jar sized tea light holder, with a tea light candle inside it, sat on a black cloth background. 5 secs at f16.
Editing the RAW in PL was minimal:
- working color space: wide gamut
- color rendering: generic, neutral
- white bal: as shot (3363 K, tint 0)
- denoise: XD (I only have PL7 so XD2s is not available to me)
- tone curve:
- selective tone highlights: -50
- fine contrast: +24
- crop: unconstrained
- everything else was at PL defaults
If you look at the original you’ll see I’ve also cloned out some bits to the left and right of the tree branches. I did that in Affinity Photo.

Thank you for sharing edits. I thought it was a bit different, with Unsharp Mask involved.
