A bit for fun (and to participate …) .
A photo taken in July 1988 near Perros-Guirec (Brittany / France) with a Pentax Spotmatic on an Ilford FP4 film.
Copied the negative (in RAW) with a macro lens.
Edited in PL5: inversion of the tone curve, some other tweaks. Then “rendering” with FilmPack, Ilford FP4.
Can I suggest you look at using the Channel Mixer to lighten the red channel? The granit rose is famous for “shouting” like it is here on the foreground rocks?
I only normally scan LF negs but would be very interested if you would consider sharing the “scanned” RAW file for me to play with.
Why, when I started this thread explicitly in the PhotoLab section, to share PhotoLab capabilities, do folks insist on posting images treated with Nik Collection?
Hey Joanna. I know that you do not use the Nik collection and don’t find much value in it compared to using PhotoLab with FilmPack.
However, the Nik collection is also a DxO product which can be accessed from within PhotoLab by sending an edited and exported raw file to a Nik module and then receiving the updated Tiff or jpeg back into PhotoLab for additional editing. When used like that the Nik Collection is an integrated part of the PhotoLab workflow. I’m not sure if you specifically indicated that all black and white images must be fully processed only in PhotoLab and it’s add-ins, but even then, many people probably consider accessing the Nik collection from within PhotoLab as an add-in.
I’m afraid that if you want these black and white images to be processed only as raw files and only from within PhotoLab you’ll have to be more explicit about that than you were in your first post of this thresd.
Playing around with split and single toning (poisonous stuff, only tried Sepia, but this I didn’t find to be the way like "in the old days (30 years ago… )
Don’t know yet what director will want to do with them and which he will choose.
Probably web site and “announce poster” (really not sure “announce poster” is the right world in english …).
