[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 743193, member: 47518"] Specifics of the different PP programs and methods used for the three: #1: RAW file used with Darktable; complete manual heavy process implementations starting with exp and ending with raw denoise, #2: original Jpg file used with Nik-collections' HDR Efex Pro; Default Preset of Basic group selected; no exp or other filters utilized except the White balance, #3: RAW file used with Aurora HDR (trial version); Natural Preset of Essential group selected; no exp or other filters utilized except the White balance. Was surprised by Aurora HDR's ability to bring out so wide array of (bright) color shades from the faint raw image data. Yet, somehow #3 received only 2 votes (including mine). Still can't decide if to out $99 for the software. The two HDR programs both turn the scene color to grayish and brown-ish shade (closer to real natural color?). Not to my like, so I twisted the white balance (color adjustment) toward blue shade (no impact on the vivid color shades of the MW). [/QUOTE]
