I checked out the blog and the enhance detail feature looks great for the example given. I will test this out myself as I have LR6 per[etual licence and all Adobe programs as CC subscription due to my job. I actually choose to use Darktable because it is a much more creative and innovative program than Adobe's offerings. I also really like RawTherapee, but the drawn and parametric masks make Darktable more creative and flexible. I would love to see Darktable and RawTherapee join forces. Probably would never happen, but both programs have some incredible features. Rawtherapee has a more intuitive GUI that would be easy for beginners to understand. I also love the demosaic options in Rawtherapee which can improve processing of very noisy images from older sensors. But nothing beats Filmic and masking from Darktable. Some really talented and dedicated developers on the Darktable project. Adobe is laughing all the way to the bank when camera manufacturers like Canon create new file formats like CR3. Makes perpetual licence Adobe products near useless forcing people into subscriptions and impedes FOOS developers. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
