@@RawPhotographyTutorials In DT you can do what ever but they are global tone mappers and usually you would use one or the other... both will kill the details a bit in the extreme tonal range area due to the compression... esp sigmoid in the highlights. If you use sigmoid then a means to add detail and contrast masked to the highlights for this sort of image can help as it fades the image gradually towards white... with filmic you can move rel white and let the sky blow out more by dropping it or bring back some color by increasing it. I never use v7 or v6 of filmic. I don't like the way it manages gamut. I like to do that myself so I use v5 with no color preservation and then I control that myself. If you put safe shoulders on and tweak it you can get a more sigmoid like look if you want or keep the look and control of filmic... No matter what you land on images that will just visually please you using one or the other so its good to master both tools...
Not sure of technical aspect and effect of pipeline but maybe a mask of filmic for sky and one for sigmoid sea and beach.
I prefer the look of the Sigmoid on this image for everything but the sky, and the sky I like better with the Filmic. Thanks for sharing
Indeed - that raises an interesting question. Can we use both at the same time (with masks)? A test for another time.

I prefer Filmic. Sigmoid is good but I would darken the sky.
I prefer the fimic take.
