Re: [darktable-user] DT: I must be holding it wrong....

I'm responding partially to the original post in this thread, and additionally, to newcomers in general to darktable. Darktable has a seductive, dangerous complexity. At least dangerous to newcomers. Lots of newbies feel they have to immediately use every module in the book. They are captured by

[darktable-user] Server Client Mode

While this is a real need, someone's genuine desire, does it have to be part of Darktable, or could it be a separate piece of software that darktable plays well with? I hope the latter. I would suggest that the addition of more and more functionality to Darktable, outside of the core mission, may

[darktable-user] Turning Darktable into a file manager

Seeing many posts asking for adding more and more file management capabilities into Darktable, I'd like to suggest that we do not divert attention away from the greatest strength, image editing. I'd rather see the devs put more attention into what makes Darktable a must-have, what it can do so

Re: [darktable-user] what is this in darktable?

"Nathan Cool is a professional real estate photographer. He has written books on the subject and has a YouTube channel. Glenn" Thanks! This is progress and makes sense. Now we can surmise that the original post is connected to the hope that Darktable can do similar things to Lightroom with

Anton Aylward says, "...why do I need to integrate it into DT?" I have been reading this, and any number of other threads and asking myself these same kinds of questions. Many requests would turn Darktable into a Swiss army knife that can do everything. I just wonder if it would be as good at

Re: [darktable-user] Solid color fill

with darktable. Work with drawn masks for now. They offer tremendous power when combined with a very few modules. As you learn, branch out one module at a time or one feature at a time. On Sat, Apr 20, 2019 at 3:07 PM ternaryd wrote: > On Sat, 20 Apr 2019 14:40:54 -0400 > Charlie Goodwin &

st sharpen this but not that ,so grain is not amplified all over - adjust color but just in one spot. I use masking constantly. On Sat, Apr 20, 2019 at 1:38 PM ternaryd wrote: > On Sat, 20 Apr 2019 13:14:12 -0400 > Charlie Goodwin > wrote: > > > In the "contrast brightness s

Re: [darktable-user] Solid color fill

he line, and width of the mask with the scroll wheel, "mask blur" will give you a ton of feathering so you do not get a sharp line between the areas. Play with brightness AND contrast. This module can do a lot. On Sat, Apr 20, 2019 at 12:11 PM ternaryd wrote: > On Sat, 2

Re: [darktable-user] Solid color fill

Why not just draw a mask, feather it and use brightness and contrast? Then use requisite color tools if the color isn't a match. On Sat, Apr 20, 2019 at 11:32 AM ternaryd wrote: > On Sat, 20 Apr 2019 11:08:24 -0400 > Patrick Shanahan wrote: > > > * ternaryd [04-20-19 03:37]: > > >> Hi, > >> >

Re: [darktable-user] Weird black openingscreen DT with digital score

Once one has heard that there are keyboard shortcuts to get rid of the April 1 gag, it is fine. Perhaps it would be a good idea to include information to that effect with the black screen. I have very mixed feelings here; Darktable is an amazing program and the devs are gods as far as I'm

The Linux renamer I use is PyRenamer. "There's a fantastic freeware utility for Windows (which I run on Mint successfully under Wine) called Lupas Rename. But I also have a native linux renaming utility... I just can't remember what' it's called right now, and I'm not at home at the moment! :)

Re: [darktable-user] Contrast by details

I often use drawn masks, since those areas that "want" sharpening emphasis often are limited and easy to define. On Tue, Dec 5, 2017 at 6:33 PM, Lorenzo Bolzani wrote: > I use it with parametric masks, geometrical and/or by luminance. Or > equalizer may be an option. > >
