Post-Processing - "Bleach Bypass"

"Bleach Bypass"

"Bleach Bypass"
  
"Standard"

"Standard"

I've been experimenting with color adjustment in Bibble Pro and stumbled upon the "bleach bypass" technique, often used in film development.  As illustrated in the top two images, the color saturation has been dropped significantly, the contrast adjusted quite high, and the exposure latitude is more narrow.  This effect also brings a bit of graininess to the images that I also find appealing.  The "standard" set has minimal adjustments made including a minor increase in contrast, little saturation added, and more vibrancy to the colors; typical for most of my work.  I think it is time to brake the definition of standard.

  2. Thank you, Sir.
    I've never really been one to adulterate my photos, but love working out color curves, contrast gradients, and textures.

    Peace.
