You wanted comments. Interesting workflow

3. Apply Colors-Exposure to the duplicate.  There is an Exposure filter, is it that one ? Trying that, it tended to be picky leaning to the extreme side. One of the other colour filters might be a better choice and Gimp is great for experimentation.

Like any procedure, this one works on some images, not on others. Very true, I tried various images with mixed results.



As a note, Using the GEGL colour filters, you can apply the mode (Divide) in the filter, opacity as well. There is a split view for comparisons.

Might be an idea to put the two layers in a layer-group. A New-from-Visible will give a new layer of "what you see" without any copy pasting.

The procedure is specific to a layer mode.  If it was specific to a filter then your approach is indeed one to use.
The method proposed captures the image without applying the filter.
The layer is thus available for trial of a different filter.  But I need to try out your suggestions.
