Darker lines? - sl60 - 02-16-2022
[attachment=7513]
I'm trying to make the cut lines on this stone sample a bit more prominent. I tried levels, brightness-Contrast, Erode, and Cartoon and all don't work.
Any ideas?

First af all, the picture is overexposed. If you want to correct this, you can use this easy trick :
- copy the picture to a new layer
- set the layer mode 'multiply'
- merge the two layers

If you want to use the picture as it is then you can try this :
- copy the picture two times to two new layers
- invert the top layer : Colours / Invert
- set the layer mode for this layer 'dodge'
- use Filters / Blur / Gaussian Blur (I suggest value 3)
- make a layer from the result : New from visible (in the layers dock)
- set this layer and the first layer (original layer) active
- set the 'new from visible' layer mode 'multiply'
If the lines are not dark enough, then copy the 'new from visible' once more (layer mode 'multiply)

Thanks, all! I need to use the picture as it is, so I'll try the denzjos method!
