Re: [darktable-user] Manual lines for perspective correction?

I tested the image on the latest Windows version of DT and the auto correction options worked well for me. You can put guides on and use manual slider controls to set yourself if you prefer. Applying specific lens distortion correction first may help improve final result, but I was pleased with

In the following image, the perspective correction tool does not do a good job at finding straight lines. It gets confused by the brick wall. https://archive.org/details/p-1100853 Is there a way to manually draw green lines?

What I was indicating was that for a beginner, it is tempting to think that a good starting point is the jpg, but as I explained, that's not what dt is designed for, nor what users want. On Fri, Jul 24, 2020 at 4:57 PM Pascal Obry wrote: > Le vendredi 24 juillet 2020 à 15:53 -0400, Bill Martz a

HI Mikael, Lightroom is a great program if you are willing to pay the subscription. Using the included camera profiles like landscape and portrait hands the creative decisions over to someone else who has written the programs. I personally never use these profiles in Lightroom. I have my

I was quite happy with Lightroom 6 (which I have paid a license for). But I don't like Adobes new subscription based licensing model, and I would prefer to not have to use Windows (and I don't have a Mac). I am trying out Darktable since it's open source, run native on Linux and is faster

Mikael- Darktable is not the same as Lightroom. I used Lightroom for many years (since it came out) and it does do what you say, you get a reasonable rendition pretty quickly with the various defaults and styles available. LR also has good DAM capabilities. It's a great program for developing

It's very tempting to want to start with the jpg setup and modify from there. Using the basecurve is as close as darktable will come for a raw. You can always convert a jpg to a tif and edit that, but you are starting with all the changes made to produce the jpg and cannot get back to what was
