i guess you already evaluated how far you can get with these http://www.darktable.org/tag/conditional-blending/
? if applied right, these are more powerful than hand-selected masks because you can automatically apply them to a series of images and let the code detect all skin tones for you for example. i find this style http://www.flickr.com/photos/rodneireis/8504722639/in/pool-darktable does a really good job at detecting skin and applying selective soften/sharpen/denoise. if you need to fall back to gimp, i'd go for 16-bit png or float exr and use gimp 2.9 to keep a couple of more bits alive in the process. cheers, jo On Sun, Mar 3, 2013 at 7:31 AM, Colin Adams <[email protected]> wrote: > In a lot of my photographs, I have to do selective de-noising and selective > sharpening.
