| ------ |
| Third, from the raw photo at -1EV : a bit dark, but let's see what happens. |
| ------ |
| Fourth, add +2EV to "correct" for any shadow detail, so actually +1EV. |
| ------ |
| Fifth, subtract 2EV from "correct" for any highlight detail, so actually -3EV. |
| ------ |
| At last, use the "Three Exposures" filter. |
| ------ |
| Seventh, G'MIC Local contrast enhancement filter. |
| ------ |
| Eighth, the Advanced Tone mapping filter. |
