Hey there,
I have a question / bug report for Windows 10, dt version 3.2.1. So... I just got darktable after reading a lot of positive reviews and comparisons. I started yesterday and I was happy with it (rating, view only X stars in the viewport etc.), until my first real editing started. My first step is always the cropping. (BTW: I have loads of experience with several editors for both photos and films, I use Photoshop Elements for almost 15 years now, alongside other editors. I also developed websites, so I'm quite computer savvy. I'm not a programmer though.) So here's the issue. MAIN PROBLEM: the crop function behaves differently every time. (I read the manual on this, but it doesn't help.) When cropping an image, several problems occur: 1. no cropping grid/handles are being shown 2. automatic crop yes/no doesn't accept no as an answer 3. the chosen grid (in my case: rule of thirds) doesn't show The software isn't stable. When I retry, it's always different: sometimes the rule of thirds shows up, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I can crop and it's being saved (after waiting several minutes) but most of the time the crop isn't applied. It shows in the history stack though... Most of the time I get the grid and handles to be shown when I go to Lighttable > back to Darkroom > select square > select freehand. Then I can finally do what I want, but nothing is being saved. I tried several times on the same photo. And on others too. Is there anything I can do to make it work? Looking into other functions and learning DT doesn't make sense to me if I can't crop firrst. I really hope you can help me out! I started a thread on it on Github too: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/6448. I thought that was the forum for DT (but I guess I'm wrong). Thanks in advance! Hieke ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
