Club walk

I went on a walk with my club last night around a reservoir. Here's some pictures I took - suitably edited. Comments invited.

The purple may be ON1 Photo Raw doing it's stuff when you do the AI Brilliance. I noticed it didn't look quite right, but I still liked it. NUmbers 1,4, 5 and 6 are the ones I think. Which did you see it in?

Thanks for the feedback.

Alan

Interesting. Here's the original JPG SOOC of one of them. The camera applied Provia film simulation (as I normally have). Maybe that's it.

Thanks. No real way of knowing. But thank you for the vote.

Can anyone else see this?

Alan

Yes. Can you alter color simulation in your software or just upload raw file somewhere to process?

And I like #2 :)

Here's a link to the raw file www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8jhh75tfvfnxz0ny5dmwm/QSCF0139.RAF?rlkey=ws6y1rivruecermqfzm8fba7l&dl=1

And here's the raw file, processed in Photoshop with "Adobe Standard" applied and a JPG created

Silkypix shows me original white balance near daylight (5417K) + lot of purple tint (15 - I don't know units, but usually color shift is 2 or 3).
I made two versions - full auto adjustment (7457K! + whatever adjustments Silkypix does) and cloudy (6000K) without purple, without dynamic adjustments and without film simulation. Sorry about resolution - I just was interested in colours.
Maybe it was unusual lighting this day and your camera picked it up not that correctly? Of course I can't know, do Silkypix colours looke more natural or not - I was not there :)

Thanks Arvo.

It must be something the camera does. Or the camera/lens combination.

But I really don't mind the purple in it - it adds a touch of 'excitement' to the photo.

Alan

Or it was just the light - your #4 shows sunset(?) and clouds, which can be the reason. For that 0139 image I can guess that camera decided to make sky color right - in your original it is certainly more beliveable than in Silkypix auto-adjusted version (sky is a bit yellowish there).

I also are not against the purplish tint - it's just interesting, what could cause that.

I installed silkypix - the fuji raw converter version - and loaded in that file. I immediately saw what you meant about the colour offset of 15. Set it to zero and it looked much nicer.

BUT - I get an error "Cannot write in this folder. Specify another folder." message 5407 when I try and 'develop' anything. Any idea what that means? I've tried loads of folders and always get the same error.
[edit - never mind, it was Windows Security kicking in]

Here's the image with only that adjusted:

Alan

Thanks, but all the original files I posted were taken from the raw. But if the s/w uses the film simulation as a base, then it will carry forward the purple (actually Magenta) and use it to create the JPGs.
Alan

Yes, though when enlarged, the bluishness is less objectionable..

I downloaded your raw file and looked at it in Photolab. I cannot see any significant difference to the colours. I used to have this problem with similar analog photos on overcast days in the north of England (e.g. Ilkley moor) and had to use a filter to avoid it. I suggest that next time in similar circumstances you take a photo of a grey card (or white shirt or handkerchief!) And use that as a reference for colour temperature correction. This is easily done in PL, but I dont know how in other software. (Photoshop "Auto Colour" did not improve it.)

On another matter, the resolution of your raw file when it arrived here was much worse than the OOC jpeg you have posted. This is most obvious looking at the gate in the middle of the picture. On the RAF file it looks quite blurred by comparison. Odd!

David

Weird. This is a 100% view in ACR screenshotted from my laptop before any sharpening or noise reduction or anything else

and this is the 100% from the resultant JPG (also screenshot)

Is there that much difference? What s/w are you using?
