[Darktable-users] Luminosity Masks in Darktable?

2015-01-05 Thread Mueen Nawaz
Hi, Has anyone considered adding luminosity masks to Darktable? For details of what I mean, see this tutorial for Gimp: http://blog.patdavid.net/2013/11/getting-around-in-gimp-luminosity-masks.html I played with it briefly in Gimp and it's quite impressive. In a sense these masks are very "self-

Oh and just quickly, I'd suggest that the shadows under the eyes are really midtones as far as the shadhi module is concerned, which is why you're having such a hard time with it. -R On 06/01/15 10:46, Robert William Hutton wrote: > I do a long description of how the shadhi module works in this

I have attached a first try. Covering such a large dynamic range is not simple. One key ist to modify the base curve (raise the lower part, flatten the upper part). The "Tonemapping" module at low strength is helpful, too. "Shadows and Highlights" works, but has its limits. Additionally, the dpre

Dear All, I've been struggling with darktable's shadows/highlights module. It seems to do really weird things. The examples shown below are exagerrations to show the effects more clearly. The manual says: shadows: This slider controls the effect on shadows; positive values will lighten up shadows

[Darktable-users] Using system-supplied icc profiles

2015-01-05 Thread Michael Below
Hi, I have noticed that my system has a number of ICC profiles installed in /usr/share/color/icc (it's Debian). I think darktable should offer to use these profiles. There are different RGB profiles that can be useful, e.g. eciRGB_v2 or PhotoGamutRGB. For example, I know an inkjet print shop tha

There have already been some very valid remarks on this topic. It's obvious that your specific use of the tone curve can give some issues at the "darker" end. Eventually this is strongly linked to the occurence of "unbounded" colors. You can read here http://www.darktable.org/usermanual/ch03s0

Hi Francisco I think the darks have to be very dark in the image to see artifacts -- if they even happen. When you choose the eyedropper from tone curve and click in the image, the L levels in the darkest (and artifact-ed) bits of the X-Trans image have L values of 1 or 2 (and are changed to abou

Hi Francisco, Do you have an example NEF file? One with shadows with saturated colors would make this most visible. The Nikon sensor could also be less noisy in the shadows. I'm not sure if these artifacts are just a cost of automatic chroma scaling, or should be considered a bug for a corner ca
