Hi Again
I have been endeavouring to use this method and when I first started had some excellent results and was able to change brightness and contrast along with removing shadows. However, for some reason now, I cannot for the life of me get it working. I created a “Cheat Sheet” of instruction in the form of a word document (attached) which did work and still works in as much as I seem to be able to create the masks per the instruction. You will notice on the .jpg file attached the Dark to Darker and Bright to Brighter mask look like they are correct. However, when I go to implement any changes, nothing happens. I have tried a number of photos in which I wanted to decrease the amount of shadow for example but nothing changes.
Could there be an issue with my Gimp. I have 2.8 and 2.10 installed but neither of them will change any Brightness, Contrast, using Curves, Levels, etc etc.
However, if I open any image make any changes that one would normally i.e. without following the Luminosity method, all of the above tools work perfectly i.e. Brightness, Contrast, using Curves, Levels, etc etc.
Regards.
