[darktable-dev] Colour Equalizer

2024-07-07 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi Devs,
First up, fantastic work on 4.8!
I raised the issue last week about documentation, and have come here to ask
who wrote the code for the CE module?
If that person would be willing to engage in a discussion, I'd really like
to cover (in a future video) all of the controls within the module. I'd
rather learn from the person who developed it, than try and assume what the
controls are doing, and then lead my viewers up the proverbial garden path
with incorrect information!

Cheers,
Bruce Williams

[darktable-dev] Modules in the scene-referred preset

2024-04-10 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi devs,
If I'm barking up the wrong tree, please set me straight! :)
I was just looking at the modules in the "workflow: scene-referred" preset,
and there are a bunch of modules which, when you hover over them, are
described by the tooltip as having a DISPLAY-referred input.
Notably, they are:

local contrast
color zones
astrophoto denoise
watermark
framing
vignetting
grain

Is this deliberate?
Should they be removed from that preset?
If not, can someone point out the reasoning, just so I understand it,
please? :)
Many thanks!

Cheers,
Bruce Williams

Fwd: Fwd: [darktable-dev] Delete files on memory card

Oh...sorry, no, I don't hook my camera up to the computer for transferring
images!
I put the memory card in a card reader for that purpose.
But I wipe my cards in-camera.

I move photos from a memory card reader to a prepared directory on
hard-disk which removes/deletes from memory card on successful transfer,
*then* import into dt.  why age your expensive camera battery for other

Fwd: [darktable-dev] Delete files on memory card

2023-07-18 Thread Bruce Williams
First up, this is a question more for the darktable-user list, not the dev
list.
But now that we're here...
No, dt does not offer the ability to remove files from the memory card.
And conventional wisdom says you really shouldn't wipe your memory card
with your computer either. Ideally, you would wipe it from your camera.
Also, it's not a good idea to ever partially wipe a card (not sure if you
were doing that or not) either, as that leaves a fragmented storage unit
which will mean at some point, your camera is having to split an image up
across multiple areas of the card.

Hello everyone,

I have a [noob] question regarding importing the images from the memory
card. Is there an option in dt for physically removing files directly from
the memory card after [successful] import? If not, what's the default
workflow for it? Manually deleting files from outside dt seems a bit

Hello!

I'd like to take some time, while we are all waiting for the 4.2
release, to send you a little message about darktable.

This release cycle has seen lot of improvements as previous releases.
We had also some divergences with one developer and the signal sent was
certainly not good or worrisome for some of you.

Fact is that the team behind darktable is strong and working very hard
in many aspects of the project.

Some people gain more visibility because they work on GUI part that are
directly visible by end-users. But there is also some people working on
part of the code that you do not see directly but that makes darktable
internal better.

I'd like to thank Hanno Schwalm and Ralf Brown for their work on
performances, tweaking OpenCL code path and OpenMP to use every cycles
of your CPU.

I'd like to thank Hanno Schwalm also for working on new highlight
recovery algorithms.

I'd like to thank Diederik ter Rahe for looking into Gtk issues and
proposing a very impressive framework for shortcuts. And to achieve
that, lot of code refactoring has been done. Some Gtk parts are looking
like black magic to me :)

I'd like to thank Roman Lebedev for the hard work in rawspeed. Without
this project darktable won't be there. Also Miloš Komarčević working on
rawspeed and many RAW formats support.

I'd like to thank Victor Forsiuk for working on image input/output
support and fixing a huge number of spelling typos.

I'd like to thank Aldric Renaudin for the continued effort on the
lighttable filters and UI.

I'd like to thank Nicolas Auffray for taking over the UI effort and
doing magic with CSS.

I'd like to thank Bill Fergusson for maintaining the Lua framework.

I'd like to thank rawfiner for checking noise profiles and making sure
they are in good shape for integration.

I'd like to thank Simone Gotti for working on a new lens correction
method based on meta-data.

I'd like to thank all the testers and reviewers (Chris Elston, Martin
Straeten, parafin, Mark-64, and others) making sure we do not introduce
more issues than we are fixing. Also thanks for Chris for reading my
English in the RELEASE_NOTES and correcting it.

I'd like to thank parafin and Bill Fergusson for creating the release
binaries for MacOS and Windows. And Andreas Schneider as maintainer of
the OBS platform for creating the GNU/Linux binaries.

I'd like to thank Sakari Kapanen for helping with color science.

I'd like to thank Jakob Andrén for the long journey at making Sigmoid a
viable alternative to FilmicRGB.

I'd like to thank all the translators bringing to us an interface in
our native language.

I won't name them, but also remember that darktable is Open Source and
we leverage on many other Open Source projects/libraries (to handle
Jpeg, TIFF, AVIF, HEIF, PNG... tether with camera, handle SVG,
colors...). I'm even pretty sure that there is far more code in the
dependencies we are using than in darktable itself.

And finally I'd like to thank all people that I have forgotten in the
list above. I'm sorry if I missed you.

A darktable release is a huge amount of work and the darktable team is
wonderful. I'm really happy to be part of it, let's the aventure
continue.

Have all a nice end of year!

Fwd: [darktable-dev] Re: [darktable-user] darktable 4.0.0 released

2022-07-10 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi all,
Just perusing the release notes for 4.0.0, and under the sub-heading "UI
rewrite", I se the following:

New collapsible sections have been added to avoid
cluttering the UI in the following modules:

   - channel mixer rgb
   - exposure
   - color calibration


Now, I've searched the module preset manager, and I cannot see (nor have I
ever heard of) a "channel mixer RGB" module.
Is this a typo which was meant to refer to the Colour Calibration Module
(I'm guessing not, as CC is mentioned third in the list), or something else?

Cheers,
Bruce Williams

It is used internally within the colour balance RGB module, not as a
pipeline working colour space. If you go to the masks tab in color balance
rgb, you'll find an option "saturation formula" which selects whether to
use the new UCS colour space or the previous Jzazbz colour space. It is
documented in the user guide:

Just to let you know that string freeze is now effective.

Next milestone is : code freeze - June 20.

The schedule is ahead of time compared to what I had announced mid
April. This is to allow a bit more time for bug fixing for this

"to make the vertical scrollbar appear" They are always on the left or on

[darktable-dev] Was it always like this?

2022-01-03 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi devs,
I just noticed something and wasn't sure if this behaviour has always
existed, or if it is something that has slipped through the cracks with 3.8.
I was in darkroom view, had the filmstrip hidden, and the export module
expanded.
See www.understandingdarktable.com/devs/3.8-no-filmstrip.png
Then, when I activated the filmstrip, the bottom of the export module got
clipped off (can't see the export button).
See www.understandingdarktable.com/devs/3.8-with-filmstrip.png
Is there any way to make the vertical scrollbar appear in such a case, and
force the modules (whether left or right side is irrelevant) to scroll up a
bit?
If this IS a bug, let me know, and I'll open a ticket on github.
Cheers,
Bruce Williams

First off, Merry Christmas to all, and thanks aplenty to the developers of
darktable for yet another release.

Now to a point of confusion for me.  I have two basically identical Win 10
machines on which darktable is installed.  In checking my configurations
after loading v3.8 this morning I find that both machines are set to
scene-referred (preferences - processing).  All other options are identical
on both machines.  Yet when I open a photo in darkroom on the "B" machine,
the module order precisely follows the scene-referred module order
specified in Section 12.7 on p. 282 of The Fine Manual as follows:

watermark
framing
monochrome
lowlight vision
velvia
color correction
shadows and highlights
contrast brightness saturation
color balance rgb
sharpen
astrophoto denoise
censorize
crop
exposure
retouch
rotate and perspective
haze removal
lens correction
denoise (profiled)
white balance

On the "A" machine, the modules selected are the same, yet the order is
mostly different as follows:

watermark
framing
velvia
sharpen
color correction
contrast brightness saturation
monochrome
lowlight vision
shadows and highlights
astrophoto denoise
color balance rgb
censorize
haze removal
crop
rotate and perspective
lens correction
retouch
exposure
denoise (profiled)
white balance

Those modules in red are NOT in the sequence specified in Section 12.7 on
p. 282 of The Fine Manual, and as yet, I've not found a means of correcting
the module order to be in sync with the specified order in The Fine
Manual.  Can anyone point me in the right direction to correct the module
order on the "A" machine?  We certainly do not wish to upset the module
order gods on Christmas Eve.  Thanks for any insights.

Thanks, Jan! Yeah, technically, what I did was: I copied the pictures from
my SD card to my /home/Test/ folder, like I always do. Then, I used "import
and copy" in DT and pointed to that folder.

What I didn't realize that 3.6 now actually makes new copies somewhere else
on the file system. That's why I was so surprised later to find all 73 CR2s
still there in /home/Test, and no XMP files at all.

What I'm wondering is, where on my file system is the directory that DT
copied my files to and placed my XMPs in?

Hi Matthias,
there are 2 ways to delete pictures. You can just remove them from your
catalog or truely delete them from your disk.

You probably used the first option. That is why they were still inside the
folder when you moved it and so they showed up again.

Your edits are stored in xmp files. Can you see those? You need to copy
them as well!

Best, Jan

Quick follow-up... I read through the announcement more thoroughly now and
realize that what previously was the "import" button is now the "add to
library" button.

I also found that DT on my laptop still had all the files, so I used DT's
own "move" feature to put them back into my home folder.

I'd still like to know where they were copied to in the first place. I
couldn't find that info in your article.

Hello, Darktable team!

First of all, thanks so much for this new release, it's always extremely
exciting to hear about one and to test it out. I've been a user since 2013
and the program just keeps getting better.

I do have a problem with the new "Copy and Import" feature though. I worked
through a whole photo session on Monday on my laptop, deleting over 40
pictures and retouching the remaining 30. Then, I moved the whole folder
over to my desktop PC.

When I opened it on my desktop today, I found that the 40 pictures I
deleted were back and all my editing work was gone.

Why? Where did it go? Do my files get copied somewhere when I import them?
What's wrong with keeping them where I put them in the first place?

I hope you can help me make sense of this and, perhaps, recover my 2 hours
of work. I'm hoping it's still somewhere on my laptop.

Thanks,
Matt.

You are strongly advised to take a backup first.

 Important note: to make sure that darktable can keep on supporting
the raw file format for your camera, *please* read [this
post](https://discuss.pixls.us/t/raw-samples-wanted/5420?u=lebedevri)
on how/what raw samples you can contribute to ensure that we have the
*full* raw sample set for your camera under CC0 license!

- Almost 2680 commits to darktable+rawspeed since 3.4
- 954 pull requests handled
- 290 issues closed

## The Big Ones

- Full rework of the import module. The new module allows you to see
  thumbnails of your images before import and makes it easier to handle
  multiple import tasks. The same dialog is now used for importing
  from disk, card or camera.

  When importing "in-place", images that are already present in
darktable
  are flagged and can be automatically excluded from the import.

  Importing from a local drive won't use gphoto and so should work more
  reliably on Windows.

- A vector-scope is added to complement the current histogram,
  waveform and parade views.

- A new default demosaic algorithm (RCD) has been introduced, which
should provide
  better quality than the current default (PPG) without the long run-
times
  of AMaZE. the order of the demosaic algorithms has also been adjusted
for clarity.

- Support for "dual demosaic" has also been added, allowing you to
combine
  "RCD + VNG4" and "AMaZE + VNG4" for bayer sensors, for xtrans sensors
there is
  "Markesteijn 3-pass + VNG". This allows you to use an algorithm
better resolving
  fine detail and another one delivering smoother output depending on
local image content.

- You can now create an opacity mask based on the sharpness of the
image. This uses
  a similar algorithm to that used in dual demosaic.

- Drawn shapes are drawn on the original RAW image and then distorted
through
  the pixelpipe. This previously led to, for example, circles becoming
ellipses
  (due to lens distortion) after being placed on the image. All drawn
shapes can
  now be pre-visualized and moved prior to placement, with full
deformation
  applied. This makes the editing of masks easier fully WYSIWYG.

- A new Color Balance RGB module has been added. This can be used as a
one stop module
  for all color grading work.

- A new censorize module has been added. This allows you to hide parts
of the image by adding
  a blur/pixelization.

- A new crop module has been added. This new module has been added late
in the
  pixelpipe and makes it possible to use cropped parts of the image for
source spots
  in the retouch module, for example.

- A new section has been added to the color calibration module to allow
you to calibrate
  colors using a color checker chart.

- The map module has been enhanced in a number of ways:
  - When importing a GPX the trace can be displayed.
  - Location can be set using polygons and directly created from
information
reported by Open Street Map. As a reminder, all locations
create tags automatically for images placed into the area.

- The basic adjustments module has been replaced with the quick access
panel, which
  can be used to group controls from multiple different modules in one
place. Currently,
  only non-graphical controls (sliders, comboboxes etc.) can be used.

## Other New Features And Changes

- The various lighttable modes can now be accessed via clear and
descriptive icons
  at the bottom of the screen. These should be easier to use than the
existing drop-down
  selection.

- The export module is now also accessible on the left-hand panel of
the

If I understand this correctly, nothing has to be done for keeping
the syncing to Gmane newsgroups alive?  (It works though special
member accounts with mail addresses redirected to Gmane.)

hi bruce,

to gain some confidence in the new setup, volunteers would have to
subscribe to a test mailing list, send messages, reply, check whether mails
go to or are classified as spam etc.

thanks,

hey,

i'm the silent owner of the server that hosts lists.darktable.org.
for various reasons i want to move the lists to a different host.

the potential new host is already set up and seems to work. is anybody
willing to help testing the setup before i do the switch? please let me
know, so i can share the test list with you.

once the setup is tested i'd do the following:
0. send an announcement to darktable-user@, darktable-dev@, and #darktable
that the switch is happening
1. stop the smtp server on the old host
2. copy all of mlmmj config files, archives, etc to the new host
3. switch the MX entry of lists.darktable.org to point to the new host
4. update the announcement that everything's back to normal

i would like to do the switch in the next 1-2 weeks, if all works well.

let me know if you have any questions.

[darktable-dev] FR: New presets of visible modules

2020-10-01 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi all,
Following my "Newbies introduction to darktable" video, the discussion came
up about linear modules vs LAB modules. And I thought it would make sense
to have a couple of extra presets in the More Modules hamburger menu.
Namely, "Subset: LInear modules" and "Subset: LAB modules" options.
Thoughts?
Would these be valid entries to add?
Or would they simply sow the seeds of more confusion?
Cheers,
Bruce Williams

1. that still doesn't give you the jpeg cooking recipe, which is more
complicated than building an ad-hoc LUT or a tonecurve if local filters are
applied (and there are),

2. what is it with people editing jpegs ? That's nonsensical ! Not the same
workflow, not the same maths, not the same filters, not the same pipeline,
not the same software. A raw is an output-agnostic linearly encoded master
picture that you can still salvage from the beginning, a jpeg is already
non-linearly cooked for display assuming dim viewing conditions (as per
sRGB standard) and firmware blackboxes.

People need to stop dealing with image processing as if everyone was right
and correctness didn't matter. It's not a silly magic game of pixels
values, there are assumptions to assert underneath the hood. Sometimes I
wish image processing could kill people, as civil engineering or medicine
do, so people would start taking it seriously and check the theory behind
before doing shit carelessly. That kind of silly workflow will blow up in
your face 50 % of times because there is zero reliability in handling
pre-baked jpegs with all the firmwares discrepancies in a software designed
to unroll image operations on raw files. Then I will let you deal with
users who don't understand why the workflow is so unpredictable.

Indulging bad habits of users is not a solution, especially since we don't
sell anything/whore ourselves out. Let's be rigorous about pixels
operations and do things properly. Want to edit jpegs ? Use bloody
Photoshop and the likes. They are good at doing shit, don't care about
color consistency, don't care about light emissions, don't even do
associated alpha occlusion properly. Yet people love them because marketing
expenses make up for dev mediocrity and overall stupidity.
Le 30/08/2020 à 17:05, Jason Polak a écrit :

Another possibility is shooting Raw+JPEG. With this option you can still
tune the JPEG engine in the camera somewhat with most models, and if you
need to edit you can go to the Raw file. Also, you can make some minor
edits directly on a JPEG file. Also, for people who are already working
in JPEG, why would they suddenly switch to Raw format just to batch
process Raw files to get what the camera would give them anyway?

 I thought that the  appeal of Darktable could be expanded to include
people like this by having a facility whereby raw images are batch
processed  to create set of jpg images in a similar way tothe way
jpg images are created by in-camera processing,  maybe in the light
table module; there would still be the option to work on a raw image as
normal.

Hi all,
Just looking at build 2483 and reading the release notes for 3.2 in
preparation for putting a video together.
Notes say that the new scene-referred workflow is the default, and use
Filmic v4 and Exposure.
Yet, when I import some new images, I notice that Filmic AND Base Curve are
active by default.
Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding something?
Devs, great work on the redesign! Looks fantastic.

Hi Bruce
What sounds strange to me is that your vertical and horizontal scroll bar
are overlapping.
On my side (debian), they don't overlap and the horizontal scroll bar
doesn't hide any text (even the last line).

Hi all,
Sorry in advance. I know you'd prefer bugs and feature requests to go
through github, but I just don't understand the process that well.
And this isn't really a BUG per se, more an annoyance.
Here's a screen capture of what happens when you try to click on a searched
tag from the collections module, when that tag is the final tag in the
list
http://www.audio2u.com/images/darktable/cramped.png
What happens is this bizarre horizontal scroll bar appears across the
bottom of the module, and robs you of 50% of the screen real estate to
actually click on that tag item.
I don't even understand why that horizontal bar appears. It's not like the
queried tags exceed the width of the module.
But it seems to me that if that bar HAS to appear, then it should push the
tag results up so that you can click on the final tag unimpeded.
Cheers,
Bruce Williams

Perhaps a better solution might be a new *option* in the multiple instance

To: darktable 


Hi Bruce, and all,

I think is not a good idea. This will add one more icon so reduce space
size on the line. And with some languages like french who use some longer
words, space used is space less for image. I would also add that favorite
icon is mostly used one time to set all favorites and most of the time is
not more use, and only after first set when a new module or some change
appear on user workflow. So not so often used like actual icons.

Best regards,

Hi all,
Just wanted to throw an idea out there.
With the introduction of the search bar in dt 3, I find that I often will
search for a module which I don't have marked as a 'favourite'.
My FR is that if ANY text has been entered into the search box, an
additional icon (a star) be placed on the module headers alongside the
'multiple instances', 'reset' and 'preset' buttons.
This would allow adding a module immediately to the favourites list.
Anyone else feel as though this might be useful?

Rawfiner,
Yep, just been swamped at work and have barely had time to scratch myself,
let alone reply to this list.
Sorry. And thanks!
I'm hoping to get into some deep reading this weekend.

There are several ressources on discuss.pixls.us about some of the changes.
See:

As you can see in the last link, Aurélien Pierre has made some (great)

Also, I will make a video about noise reduction (as usual) hopefully late
december or early january to explain the changes and how to reduce noise
with darktable 3.0.

Fwd: [darktable-dev] Database lock file seems too lenient

2019-12-14 Thread Bruce Williams
I'm not at home right now, but if you are interested, I did a video on the
local copies function.
It's here if you want to have a squiz

Bruce,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it looks like that doesn't do what
I'm looking for. Edits made on one computer don't show up on the other
computer (I think it's because they are only sharing the photo files, not
the library database).

Here's what I tried:

Mount remote disk over sshfs.
Select images. -> Make local copy.
Edit image.
"Resync local copies"

When I open darktable on the other computer, those edits are nowhere to be
seen, even if I request to "resync local copies."

Does it matter how I have the remote directory mounted (using sshfs)? Is
darktable attempting to detect whether storage is remote (NFS or SAMBA)?

Thanks,
Owen

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the response. I have a couple follow-up questions:

1) Why go to the trouble of adding hostname to PID in the lock file, why
not just check for existence of the lock file and treat that as evidence
that the database is open? It looks like many lines of code have been
written in database.c dedicated to finding an excuse to ignore the lock
file :-) (by checking for a running process, etc).

2) Since sharing the library is not recommended, is there a recommended way
to have one computer be aware of edits made on/by another computer? The
problem I'm trying to solve is: my photos live on my laptop and are usually
imported and edited there. For large jobs, I would like to be able to do
processing on my desktop, which has a GPU. My current solution is to mount
my laptop harddrive on the desktop via sshfs and point both darktable
instances to a library file in the shared folder.

3) Is there any risk to the database in doing this, provided I avoid having
multiple darktable instances accessing the database at once? (For instance,
the bash script I have that launches darktable and points it at the shared
folder could also check for the existence of the lockfile and respect it).

Thanks,
Owen

Fwd: [darktable-dev] Export settings, not storing "on conflict" setting

2019-12-10 Thread Bruce Williams
This has always been the default behavior. That it will use "overwrite" one
time only and then revert to "create unique filenames".
However, if I'm not mistaken, version 3 is going to allow you to make it
stick to "overwrite" if you want it to.

Bruce Williams.

[darktable-dev] Cameras listed in Lens Correction module

2019-11-24 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi all,
Who do we talk to re: cameras missing from the above-named module?
I shoot with an a7iii, which is now a 12 month old camera at least, and
yet, even in 3.0 rc1, it is not listed in the Lens Correction module's
camera drop-down list.
Cheers,
Bruce Williams

Fwd: [darktable-dev] Adobe Bridge Keyword Import Fail

2019-11-18 Thread Bruce Williams
And if that is what the issue is (the extra file extension component in the
filename), I am pretty sure I addressed that in my video.
A simple rename routine to remove that from your xmp files will sort it out.

perhaps a problem of naming conventions?
What is a RAW file named?
How is the Filename of the corresponding xmp?

There are mainly 2 possibilities:

weird1234.nef
weird1234.xmp

or

weird1234.nef
weird1234.nef.xmp

and perhaps others?
darktable uses the second version.

Fwd: Fwd: [darktable-dev] Standardization of the writing of mouse interactions in the user manual

2019-09-26 Thread Bruce Williams
Pierre,
First up, my sincerest apologies!
I did not realize that that was YOUR sentence. I thought it was something
you had found on the page you had linked to.
I would not have been so brutal had I understood. Sorry! :)

And yes, you are correct. Our previous discussions were more about the
ratifying of how to document key combinations, but we had not discussed
mouse intersections as well.

You said:

*IMHO it should be considered to completely eliminate the spelling of mouse*


*interactions in combination with keys like Ctrl+move, Ctrl+scoll
orCtrl+right click in the manual and to express this in sentences instead*
*(see example sentence).*

Hmmm, not sure I agree on this point.
I think for consistency's sake, the idea of a group of commands looking
like this

*Ctrl+A*
*Shift+L*
*Ctrl+(right click)*
*Alt+(scroll wheel)*

makes more sense than

*Ctrl+A*
*Shift+L*
*press/hold the Ctrl key and right click*
press/hold the Alt key and scroll the mouse wheel

This is just my view.
But I'm happy to go with whatever concensus is agreed upon by the group.

Cheers,
Bruce Williams.

Hello Bruce,

thank you for your quick answer and correction of my English sentence.
As mentioned in the e-mail, I am not a native speaker.

With regard to your question "But I think we've had this discussion
already, didn't we?".
In my opinion the key combinations like Ctrl+X were defined but not in
combination with a mouse interaction.

All this spelling right click, right-click and click right can be found in
the user manual, this I would like to unify to one spelling.

No matter on which spelling we agree, in combination with a key it looks
strange. e.g. Ctrl+right click or Ctrl+(right click)
Are there examples of how other manuals handle this?

IMHO it should be considered to completely eliminate the spelling of mouse
interactions in combination with keys like Ctrl+move, Ctrl+scoll or
Ctrl+right click in the manual and to express this in sentences instead
(see example sentence).

Thanks

2019-09-26 Thread Bruce Williams
Well, for a start, this
"You can resize the height of attached view or dictionary view by while
selected ctrl key and rotate the mouse wheel." is appalling English!
The words 'by' and 'while' have absolutely no right being next to each
other.
It should read something like "You can resize the height of attached view
or dictionary view by holding down the Ctrl key and rotating the mouse
wheel."
Just my thoughts.
As for the rest of the terminology on the Microsoft page, I have no issue.
But even that page does not specify a use-case for Ctrl+click. But I think
we've had this discussion already, didn't we?
That there should be no spaces (i.e. Ctrl + click would be incorrect), and
that the modifier key (Ctrl) SHOULD be capitalized.

Subject: [darktable-dev] Standardization of the writing of mouse
interactions in the user manual
To: 


Hello developer and documentation team,



Since the keyboard shortcuts are now standardized in the user manual [1],
the writing of the mouse interactions should also be standardized.



For example, the following spellings can be found in the manual:



Ctrl+click, Ctrl+clicking,

right click, right-click and click right

Ctrl+wheel, Ctrl+scroll



The first step is to agree the writing style in the team.



Based on the Microsoft recommendations (
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/term-collections/mouse-mouse-interaction-terms
) the following example sentence can be changed:



Original from user manual:

You can resize the height of attached view or dictionary view using
Ctrl+wheel.



Example for a possible change:

You can resize the height of attached view or dictionary view by while
selected ctrl key and rotate the mouse wheel.



Feel free to discuss this topic and make many suggestions!

I had the same problems translating the manual into German. I had two

github. I had agreed with him the process you have described. He creates
pull requests on my darktable fork, which I reviewed and entered into the
translation. The second supporter had no experience with git, with him I
shared the po file directly via email. I transferred his changes to my po
file by comparison.

I would also be very interested in a simpler strategy!

How do the other translators solve it?
How is this handled in other projects? Who has experience?

In most documentation I've seen there are no spaces in the sequence. For
whatever it's worth, the MS style guide agrees:


https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/term-collections/keys-keyboard-shortcuts

Might be a good general reference, just to keep some consistency.

Hi,

for last 2.6 version, it took me a full-time week to write the doc for 3
modules, trying to accurately describe how they worked in a vulgarized way,
in my 3rd language. Instead, will it be helpful if I recorded videos
showing what's new and how it works (possibly in a disorganized/non-linear
order), and let you put the information in shape for a documentation ? Not
that I want to give you the bad job, but I might be more useful on the
debugging team, as the release approaches. I'm still happy to do
proof-reading.

I wholeheartedly agree with Matthew on the documentation front.
Now, I'll confess, I couldn't write a line of code if my life depended on
it!
Nor could I reverse-engineer anything.
But, writing copy has been part of my career (as a radio promo producer)
for the last 30+ years.
If the guys writing the new features are prepared to write draft notes on
how a certain new feature works, I would be happy to help with the copy
editing for the 3.0 documentation.

I support this. We had a lot of last-minutes fixes last years, and given
the amount of changes, we really need a long testing period this year.

I'd like to raise another point: the manual. The dt tradition is to make
the release, and complete the manual afterwards. This has disadvantages for
several kinds of people:

1. Users are somehow frustrated to get a nice release without the full
documentation. I could live with this, but there's also:

2. People writing articles about the release (e.g. myself) have a hard time
reverse-engineering the changes. Last year's release notes were better than
the previous ones for me, but still much more work to understand than a
proper user-manual.

3. Testers cannot really test without the manual. This is related to point
2: last year I reported a lot of bugs found while trying to understand how
new features worked, but without the documentation one doesn't know what to
test, nor what's the expected behavior.

4. People proof-reading the documentation, which can be the same as 2. For
example, the manual doesn't seem to document the hierarchical tags
shortcuts (control/shift double-click) in the collect module while they are
documented in my article (https://www.darktable.org/2018/12/darktable-26/).
I would happily report bugs for missing documentation, but when I do so I
usually get "please be patient, we'll write the doc later" as an answer, so

Fwd: [darktable-dev] Feature freeze for 3.0

2019-08-13 Thread Bruce Williams
I wholeheartedly agree with Matthew on the documentation front.
Now, I'll confess, I couldn't write a line of code if my life depended on
it!
Nor could I reverse-engineer anything.
But, writing copy has been part of my career (as a radio promo producer)
for the last 30+ years.
If the guys writing the new features are prepared to write draft notes on
how a certain new feature works, I would be happy to help with the copy
editing for the 3.0 documentation.

Cheers,
Bruce Williams.

I support this. We had a lot of last-minutes fixes last years, and given
the amount of changes, we really need a long testing period this year.

I'd like to raise another point: the manual. The dt tradition is to make
the release, and complete the manual afterwards. This has disadvantages for
several kinds of people:

1. Users are somehow frustrated to get a nice release without the full
documentation. I could live with this, but there's also:

2. People writing articles about the release (e.g. myself) have a hard time
reverse-engineering the changes. Last year's release notes were better than
the previous ones for me, but still much more work to understand than a
proper user-manual.

3. Testers cannot really test without the manual. This is related to point
2: last year I reported a lot of bugs found while trying to understand how
new features worked, but without the documentation one doesn't know what to
test, nor what's the expected behavior.

4. People proof-reading the documentation, which can be the same as 2. For
example, the manual doesn't seem to document the hierarchical tags
shortcuts (control/shift double-click) in the collect module while they are
documented in my article (https://www.darktable.org/2018/12/darktable-26/).
I would happily report bugs for missing documentation, but when I do so I
usually get "please be patient, we'll write the doc later" as an answer, so
I don't report these bugs.

To me, the ideal flow is to write at least a draft of the doc in the same
PR as the code (which does help a lot with points 3. and 4. since testing
is also important before merging), but having the manual ready before the
release (e.g. not too long after the feature freeze or string freeze in
your list above) would greatly help.

Fwd: [darktable-dev] Naming Module Instances

2019-05-25 Thread Bruce Williams
But Pascal, when you rename a module instance in 2.6.2, you can't remove
the original name of the module.
You can only append something meaningful to the existing module name.
I agree with the original request. The ability to replace the module's
original name would be much more useful (and screen-real-estate friendly).

Cheers,
Bruce Williams.

is it possible the watermark file itself is not cropped so the borders are

[darktable-dev] Watermark oddity

2019-05-10 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi guys,
I know posting images to the mailing list is frowned upon, so I've thrown
this screenshot up in a temp directory on my site.
And for some reason, I cannot log into redmine. I reset my password, and go
to log in with the new password, and it tells me my password is wrong, even
though I just changed it 2 seconds ago!
Anyway, the image is here
www.brucewilliamsphotography.com/temp/watermark.png
I'm not sure when this happened, but if you have a look at that screenshot,
you can see that even though...
* the watermark is set to 'centre' alignment, and
* x offset is set to 0.0
the watermark is not centred over the image.
I even had to reduce the scale to ensure it was not hanging off the right
hand side of the image.
Now, don't worry, I would never watermark an image like this. I was simply
doing some prep for a forthcoming video.
But something has clearly happened since 2.4, when this behaviour was NOT
evident. Back then, the watermark would have been correctly centred.
And just for clarity, this is using an .svg graphic I'd created in inkscape.
My system is linux mint 19.2
darktable version 2.6.2

Fwd: [darktable-dev] darktable 2.6.1 released

2019-03-06 Thread Bruce Williams
Thanks (to those responsible) for the updated manual!
However, I do notice that the further you go through the manual, the more
out of whack the page numbers are in relation to the table of contents.
For example, the TOC says that section 9 starts on page 193, when it actual
fact, it starts on page 201.
Section 10 starts on page 213, not 205 as indicated by the TOC.

Fwd: [darktable-dev] Pushing ISO (ISO invarience)

2019-03-04 Thread Bruce Williams
Same here.
I did my own test, but going from 6400 ISO down to 200 ISO.
I also used 2 exposure modules (1 @ +3, and 1 @ +2) and found the images to
be almost indistinguishable from each other. If anything, the noise
distribution was subtly different in it's randomisation.
As for white balance differences, that should not be an issue if you're
shooting RAW.
A RAW file is not, after all, an "image". It's simply data. That's why
white balance can be selected after the fact.
And no, I don't believe there to be any issue with darktable either. Just
noobie error on the part of f-stoppers.
Cheers,
Bruce Williams

To: 


I saw that video and have no idea what F-Stoppers may have done wrong in
their test, but I expect unfamiliarity with the software may be a
factor. I just tried to replicate the essense of the test using my Nikon
D3200,  50mm @ F5. Shot properly exposed at 3200 on a tripod, then at
100. After boosting the exposure 5 stops (1 exposure instance) and
selecting the same white balance, the overall luminosity looks
equivalent to me.

I also tried boosting using 2 instances, 1 at +3ev and another at +2ev.
I noticed that duplicating the instance and changing the exposure still
leaves the duplicate turned off, so maybe that's what happened.

The camera's white balance selection was very different between the two
and even after setting the boosted image's setting it still looks a
little yellow to me. Also, some areas that were darker to begin with
(dark wood in shadow) did not appear as bright after boosting 5ev.

The long & short of it is I don't think there's any issue with Darktable.

Yeah, but the numb nuts said "darktable could only give +3 stops of
exposure".
Clearly, they did not know about the ability to instigate a second instead
of a module.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Fwd: [darktable-dev] Crop tool is awkward for my use case

2019-02-17 Thread Bruce Williams
Why not leave the current situation as it is, but add a CTRL key modifier
to allow the alternate behaviour?

Subject: Re: [darktable-dev] Crop tool is awkward for my use case
To: 


For some people that might be true, but the current system also has an
advantage: if the shot is already pretty good but just needs a slight
cropping, then only a little dragging in one corner may be required,
without much dragging. Then the click-in-square method for moving the
crop is actually useful. I would not want to have to drag a rectangle
for every little crop adjustment.

Hey guys,
Just wondering what the etiquette/procedure is for getting a link added to
the resources page of darktable.org?
The link to my darktable playlist (currently at 28 episodes, and still
growing) is here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlYWvzmJQTrRq7JrYdD7k3-8-v-uHnhK_
I had someone email and ask why my videos weren't linked from there. I said
I didn't know. 
Is it possible to add that link, by any chance?
Thanks in advance!

[darktable-dev] X-trans sensor and demosaic

2019-01-26 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi all,
I had a viewer write to me about the filmic module and which demosaic
algorithm to use.
Here's an excerpt from his email...

"But now I use only Fuji cameras, and for the RAW files (.RAF) from
Fuji X-trans sensors, the Demosaic module has only two options:
'method' and 'colour smoothing'. There's no 'match greens'. And the
'method' pulldown does not have AMaZE. Rather, it has VNG, Markesteijn
1-pass (the default), Markesteijn 3-pass, passthrough (monochrome),
and frequency domain chroma. This is the case in DT on both MacOS and
Debian."

He goes on to suggest that perhaps darktable reads the metadata from the
raw file and only presents appropriate demosaic algorithms for that sensor
type.
Is that the case?
And is there a recommended demosaic algorithm for the x-trans sensor?
Cheers,
Bruce Williams.

If you can compile darktable yourself, you can adjust the line 937 in
src/libs/collect.c.
collate_key = tag_collate_key(name_folded);
And replace "name_folded" with "name".

I can create a pull request, but I don't know why the name is converted to
be case independent, in the first place.

[darktable-dev] Revised collections module

2018-12-28 Thread Bruce Williams
Hey guys,
Just back from holidays, and happy to see 2.6 sitting under my Christmas
tree! Woot!
Thanks for all of your collective hard work! Beers for all!
A quick question though...
I love that the Collections module now allows you to view tags in a
hierarchical tree, but am wondering why some tags are duplicated over and
over again. See the attached screen cap.
I use the tag "people" prior to anyone's name, just so that all names
appear under one branch of the tree.
And while I will confess that there was a time when I had "people"
capitalised, I would have expected two entries at most... one for "people"
and one for "People".
But why are there 30 or 40 of them?
I have a similar case for the word "event". I put things like birthday
parties, Christmas day, weddings, and the like, all under a parent keyword
of 'event'. And my tag tree has the same repetition for that word also.
If there's a way for me to easily clean this up, I'd love to hear about it!
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Bruce Williams

[darktable-dev] Monochrome processing

2018-12-13 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi brains trust!
Someone on the darktable unofficial group on Facebook asked if I had or
would consider doing a video on monochrome processing methodologies in
darktable.
And while I'm happy to (and regularly do) read the manual, I thought I'd
throw it out to you guys to ask... What is YOUR favorite process?
Obviously there is the low hanging fruit of the monochrome module, or the
contrast brightness and saturation module... But I'm sure there are other
options.
Love to hear your ideas!
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Re: [darktable-dev] Updating the manual
To: 


Hi Bruce,

you can consider the strength of the module's effect to be controlled by
two gradients or ramps. One for the highlights and one for the shadows.
The shadows gradient has its maximum value at L=0 and linearly goes down
in the direction of the highlights. For the highlights gradient it's
vice versa.

The compression slider controls the steepness of the two gradients.

With the default setting 50% both gradients reach a value of zero (= no
effect) at L=50 - which means that only an ideal midtone is not affected
by neither shadows nor highlights.

At a compression value of 100% the gradients are practically vertical -
only pure black and pure white are affected - a corner case which has
virtually no effect on the image.

At a compression value of 0% both gradients extend to the respective
opposite side. The shadows adjustment strongly affect shadows,
moderately affects midtones and minimally affects highlights. Vice versa
for the highlights adjustment.

Best wishes

Ulrich

[darktable-dev] Updating the manual

2018-11-14 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi all,
Andreas suggested I should seek clarification on the compression slider,
specifically in the "shadows and highlights" module.
The manual doesn't explicitly state what ranges of shadow and highlight
values are affected for given compression levels.
In my latest video, I suggested that at 0, the shadows control would
control all dark tones up to the mid point, and the highlights slider would
control all tones from the mid-point up to the brightest/whitest pixel.
Does a compression setting of 50 mean the shadows slider covers the left
25% of the histogram, and the highlights slider controls the right 25% of
the histogram?

[darktable-dev] Collect images module

2018-11-05 Thread Bruce Williams
Hey guys,
I had a viewer ask me about the use of the semicolon when it comes to using
the [Date] modifier in the Collect Images module.

Section 2.3.2.1 of the manual contains the following paragraph:
"Attributes with numerical values as well as date and time attributes can
be used in combi-
nation with comparative and range operators. Write <, <=, >, >=, <>, and =
to select images
with attributes less, less or equal, greater, greater or equal, not equal,
or equal to the a
given value, respectively. An expression in the form [from;to] selects a
range of values."

Which makes no reference to the semicolon as a modifier, at all. Yet, when
you set the drop down menu to [Date], and mouse over the text field, the
tooltip which pops up shows the semicolon as another modifier. Is this some
left over code that needs to be removed? Or is there another use case here
which is not documented in the manual?

Cheers,
Bruce Williams

OK, I'll bite.
What's a GMIC filter when it's at home?

This is awesome news!
Although I'm a Linux guy these days, I am the producer and co-host of a
photography podcast called Shutters Inc, and most of my listeners are on
Windoze.
I'll be giving this a shoutout on this week's podcast for sure!
Although I've been raving about dt ever since I found it 12 months ago,
I've only converted one listener (that I know of). This will probably see a
few more at least sample the product, and I would expect, a few of them
will stay. I know a lot of people are not happy about Adobe's continual
price gouging for a CC subscription. :)

I'm running Linux Mint, and shoot with an a850.
Not having any issues here.
I realise that doesn't help you much, but just wanted to stress that I
don't think it's a dt issue.

[darktable-dev] Split toning

2016-09-17 Thread Bruce Williams
Hi all,
Full disclosure... complete Linux-noobie here.
Been spending a ton of time with darktable over the last couple of weeks
and am absolutely BLOWN AWAY!!
Nice work, guys!
Please forgive me if I've sent this to the wrong spot, or have ignored some
etiquette that I should be aware of.
Just wanted to make a feature request or maybe it's report a bug.
We all understand how to read a histogram, right?
Shadows are to the left, highlights are to the right.
So, why is it that in the split toning module, the Balance slider works in
the opposite direction? Highlights are to the left and shadows are to the
right. This seems completely counter-intuitive to me. Am I missing
something?
K
​eep up the great work!
​
Cheers,
Bruce Williams
