It’s time for a guest again. Nachbarnebenan shows how to process a RAW image in the current (well, it was November…) version of Photivo. Photivo has a very different approach to image processing from GIMP and others. It’s more stacking up and tweaking of algorithms instead of making a series of changes one after the other. Fully non destructive and very powerful.
To isolate the model from the a bit to vivid background Nachbarnebenan produces two images from his RAW file. One is crisp and colourful – best for the model. The other one is soft and a bit dull – this tones the background down.
In the next episode he will show how to combine these two images in GIMP into one.
I am still looking for “Bad Good Images” from Phones and other not so good cameras!
Sorry, no TOC up to now.

Good show.
It certainly shows that using Photivo isn’t as complicated as it first appears to be.
Nice one, thanks.
