Hi, I did everything I could in dt with multiple instances of various modules and masks and every which way I could but still was unable to get the same cloud detail out in dt that one of the guys did in LR. This was a little unofficial competition on the Pentax user forum where some of us were trying to prove to another member that multiple images and HDR techniques were not necessary for one of his images and that we could, as one mid sequence raw encompassed the full DR , get the same from a single image as his five shot HDR sequence achieved so conditions were stringent. I could get a good rendering but nothing like LR or the HDR shots could do.
Then there just happened to be a post here saying that there had been specific recent improvements to shadow gradation so I downloaded the current at the time version ( 1.5+734) which was incomparably better. Suddenly 'out of the box' without extensive gradients/masks/expose/equalizer modules it was instantly better than I had achieved before and matched the LR and HDR efforts very easily and I was happy. So a big thanks (again) to the devs who are continually improving dt and giving us all this good stuff :-) Rgds, Rob. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Völker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 14 October 2014 16:46 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Darktable-users] Structures in clouds Hi! Clouds tend to be in the upper part of an image and there is usually a pretty obvious intensity distribution from "really high" in the clouds to "rather low" at the bottom. So I usually just apply a vertical linear intensity gradient to get the heaven down to levels where you can discriminate the clouds. The module is called "graduated density" and I find it really easy, self-explaining and effective. Regards Michael This email is confidential and is intended for the addressee only.
