What Filter Was Used? - SeekTruth - 01-07-2018
For the life of me, I can't figure out which filter was used when editing these colors. It's like an exposure that pops the color, and at it's highest point turns black into something silvery. Any ideas?

Solarise ?

"and at it's highest point turns black into something silvery" In chemical photography days, this was called "solarization". In digital photography, this is done with Curves and a negative/decreasing slope:

according to this blog, the curve is pyramid shaped

Yeah..solarize forgot about that one.
Two stages.
This using Gmic and the curves filter, dragged the lab curves around.
Metallic text the usual some text bump mapped and gimp colour curve dragged up and down

This worked perfectly. Thank you! I seem to recall using an FX-foundry, filter, or some other menu with a slider to set a number to accomplish this before. (Lasm's Solarize doesn't seem to be it.)

You have the choice between remembering a few basic principles and how to apply them, or remember by heart several hundred filters. Choose wisely

LOL, touche. Was just wondering if anyone remembered or knew off top of their head. Otherwise, do appreciate the assistance!

So whats the difference between the three curves ? They all seem different, but do the same thing ?

The curve I posted partially and progressively inverts the colors in the shadows.
