Standing Behind The Screen Door - a photo on Flickriver

            The Boss was standing in the kitchen on the other side of the screen door from me and I had a flashback to an image I had seen about a half century ago of a young lady behind a screen window. The sun had covered the wall with bright patches of dappled light, some of which caught her and her red shirt. The overall effect was reminiscent of the look in paintings form a century ago. - JW

PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file: set final image size to be 9000px high, apply Tone Mapping at default levels and then apply Dynamic Range Compression to help manage the brightness difference between the red shirt and the face areas, use the Graduated Neutral Density/GND tool to darken the bottom right corner again to try and tame that overly bright red shirt area, slightly increase Contrast and Chromaticity in L-A-B mode, slightly boost Vibrance, sharpen (edges only), save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: use the Curves tool op a copy of the layer to significantly darken the brighter red areas areas and then use the Hue-Saturation-Brightness tool to significantly desaturate the red shirt, add a black/transparent layer mask to show the layer below and then use a large soft edged brush with white pant to reveal the now significantly tamed red bright areas, slightly boost overall contrast, sharpen slightly, save, scale image to 6000px high, sharpen, save, add fine black-and-white frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale image to 3000 px high for posting online, sharpen, save.
