Yes, I think GIMP probably can do what I need, the issue as ever is how to go about getting there.
There is a particular selenium look I'm trying to get, it bring out the highlights in tree bark really well, giving them an almost shiny silver grey appearance.
Not sure how to emulate this in GIMP
- h2odragon 4y agoEdge detection / highlighting and color banding, maybe? "Selenium look" ... forgive me but even when every small town newspaper had a darkroom, how common a phrase was that? You might need to write a lexicon of what you're talking about just to help preserve some of that knowledge for the world.

If you go to a black and white photo gallery you will see examples usually. I know I can't reproduce it exactly (because it's to do with the actual silver in the paper), but I thought there would be a way to imitate these darkroom processes a bit more. Edit: ah actually they say the scans dont do it justice. It's a beautiful look, if you can get to a gallery have peek and see if you can see what I'm talking about
