I am currently preparing a new site, in which I intend to show how I created some of my images.
Let me give you an example (published in January on https://mjbarmish.fr). This image's primary quality is its delicacy and refined character.
However, it requires the use of at least 4 Gimp filters, not including sharpness, exposure, contrast, etc.
1. At the beginning there is a backlit photo of the church of a small village. It is of no interest.
2. I started by giving it some color with Normal map at a fairly high level 201.
3. Then to force the tones a little, I merged the original photo in subtraction mode.
4. Then I added some sharpening, before submitting the result to the recursive despeckle with extreme settings 30 -1 256.
5. At this point the picture becomes interesting; but it clearly lacks a finishing touch.
I then had the idea of sticking it on itself, but turning it over,
6. and merged in HSV saturation mode. As I expected, an aesthetically pleasing addition occurred. After, of course, exposure, sharpness, contrast...
Which just goes to show that you should never throw away a bad photo.
See you soon
