When shooting shots underwater, there is a huge amount of light scatter that causes a grey haze over the image. I have always been able to correct it very easily by playing with the dt controls, mostly just the exposure tool, increasing the contrast and adjusting the exposure accordingly. Somet

Maybe I misunderstood you first mail. You said you preferred Darktable. Why, if you can get the results you want elsewhere, without any problems? On 04/19/2013 01:00 AM, James wrote: > > I'm not looking for automation but as an example, I can process the > image I'm struggling with in AfterShotPr

Have been waiting for this feature and been testing it for a couple of days when it got to the unstable ppa in Ubuntu. The masking feature so far work really well and the idea to apply the same mask on several different tools in a easy way it's fantastic. Have only had one program freeze. Right n

A few tips/ideas: 1. Adjust black level (exposure module) If you play a bit with the black level slider, you will get quite fast an impression of how to tackle the grey haze. But be careful if you want to preserve detail in dark regions. 2. Adjust contrast by tweaking the tone curve. Try to lower

Interesting discussion about "Perfectly Clear" and automated tools. I use AftershotPro (and BibblePro before it) and think it's a great tool. Automation is nice but I find automation over-processes. I prefer Darktable because it hasn't got automation. I like making my own decisions. My Darktable

I've just been trying this as well and the new interface is great - thank you for this guys. The only difficulty I've experienced is that the guide lines and grab handles are often difficult to see but otherwise really good. I much prefer this direct on canvas interface to a slider approach m

Being able to lay the lines directly on image elements (as is now designed) I find exceptionally accurate and avoids secondary rotation problems. I am working, currently, with a lot of architectural detail ... just great. David On 13-04-18 01:32 PM, S. Witt wrote: > but the position of these 4

but the position of these 4 vertices are the only parameters, provided by the user. So 8 sliders should be sufficient, at least for fine-tuning. An example for an 8 sliders ui might be the zperspector plug-in for ASP, which is easy to use (screenshot attached). kind regards Sören Am 18.04.2013 1

the problem with sliders is that they are only a subset of the full perspective correction (four vertices describe rotation and translation in at least 3 dimensions, two sliders: 2 dimensions. and those don't even easily map to a subset). j. On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 10:02 AM, S. Witt wrote: > H

Hi, from my point of view the new keystone UI is really nice. I can do basic the basic adjustments quickly, BUT not as precise as I would like to do. Although I think the new UI is better than the old one, I would highly appreciate having additional sliders for fine-tuning. kind regards Sören A
