And in dt 1.4 a brush mask will be available. Not what lr does, but
something different that can achieve great results!
Yes I am aware of this. I use the version from the darktable PPA, so I have all the latest stuff. Brush masks are good, but it's different from the adjustment brush feature. I am aware that you can achieve similar effects, but it's execution is different. In LR you select the area then select the effects; in DT you select the effect then select the area. It's a different way of doing things and is more flexible in the sense that you have more control over what you do, but it's a lot slower for applying multiple effects to an area.
There is a mask manager at the bottom of the darkroom left panel, where you can find every mask created for the image.
And there is a mask selector under the opacity slider once you select the "draw mask" blend mode in the desired plugin. There you can browse to the desired mask and apply the effect to it.
Hope this hepls (as I use DT localized in Spanish, and am not sure of the actual english names).
For instance, I could be combining exposure shifts with a white balance shift to simulate ambient lighting when dodging/burning. Or I could be lifting shadows in a specific area while increasing noise reduction, sharpening, contrast and local contrast there simultaneously (like for rocks in seascapes). In DT you have to create multiple instances of each module (if they are used for other parts of the photo) and then draw masks for them (even if you can duplicate the masks it's still very slow).In conclusion, I think darktable gets you there, but it is slower than Lightroom in doing so (more steps required), though it does give a bit more control.
