Re: [darktable-user] Still no GUI module order possible?

Currently I am scanning many hundreds, soon to be thousands of images and films. DT can do a great with most of the processing but auto levels in GIMP tends to work better at correcting the final colors than the RGB levels module in DT. Also with GIMP once the auto level is applied you have the opt

True Terry, I think I can agree with everything you wrote :), including the sometimes necessary combo DT + Gimp. Sometimes I was so involved with an image in DT, editing much too long, that when I saw the exported image I was not satisfied at all. Opening it in Gimp and applying auto levels and

Hi, has it a similar way of defining the parameter map DT is using? By playing with the masking contrast and gain in DT one can kind of control what's seen as Blacks, Shadows, What is what may highly depend not only on the absolute luminance but also on the intention of the photograph
