Sorry, i read your mail in "brain-dead-mode". My previous answer is wrong, the plugin you need is tone curve. Pascal just explained what the base curve does. Sorry again, Markus Am 19.04.2013 19:30, schrieb Markus Jung: > Am 19.04.2013 18:06, schrieb Аl Воgnеr: >> Till now I am not sure if I unde

That's easily fixed AL, time to read the manual (or book) a bit. No need to spend hours on each photo as there is automation available for applying flexible edit sets (not just a single 'perfectly clear' effect) to multiple images in one hit. Yet if dt images are 'flat and grey' you have somet

I think you are being remarkably kind Pascal. Their web site doesn't seem to want to provide the detail page on their 12 amazing scientific whatevertheyares but I wasted five minutes of my life reading their introduction to their science page - and can only say it isn't science as anyone would

Hi James, Your description of darktable images as "grey and hazy. It's as if there's a grey film over the image" just doesn't describe darktable at all, not in any version of it I have ever used so there is something wrong. Could you provide a raw file and a matching darktable processed image
