100% GIMP/Raw Therapee practice, just a snap otherwise.
Canon T4i
Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM
PP in Raw Therapee and GIMP
Gritty deets:
- RT
- Exposure comp
- Black levels, shadows down (too noisy otherwise)
- White balance on the off-white-towards-blue wall behind me, adds a warm cast to the picture
- GIMP
- Black and white through desaturate (luminance)
- Split toning on orange and teal, just to be a jerk
- Create a mask for lights and darks
- Apply light mask to an orange colorized copy
- Apply dark mask to a teal colorized copy
- Skin smoothing
- Wavelet decompose
- Successive gaus. blur on wavelet layers
