@tue that looks really interesting! Almost like a negative diffusion where the dark edges are blurred and overlayed over the image to create that black halo. What exactly are you doing in your photoshop actions to replicate this look?

Exactly. I’ll try to recreate it and get back to you-

Okay it's something along the lines of having a layer where the picture is blurred and then a layer with highpass(set to softlight) to pull the details back in. Then play with the opacity of the blurred layer. This is by no means the goal that i'm seeking, but just the closest i could get right now

Okay, i just tried inputting a negativ version of the image into color.io and used the halation effect. Then back into photoshop and inverted it (luminosity mode)----
