So I personally enjoyed the hours that I spent learning how darktable and the modules work and it made RAW development interesting and fun again for me. For example: darktable 3.0 live - fast workflow for pros/time-constrained photographers - YouTubeĪnd there is a very interesting thread, thanks to it I started to use massively shortcuts: Darktable speedrun: Stylish edits in 40 seconds
#BEST WAY TO DEVELOPE IMAGES IN DARKTABLE HOW TO#
There are videos where you can learn how to fast develop images. Thanks to darktable and this forum I have learnt a lot about photography and RAW development. When I discovered darktable, I was amazed how much things you can do and control while developing a RAW file and how much to learn I still had. I was bored of photography editing using other programs like CaptureOne or Lightroom, where you can only move slides. I don’t know what others darktable users think, but my case was not as you describe. Right now i mostly have problems with blown-out highlights BTW, the default here is a compromise for good-out-of-the-box already…Ībout filmic’s color science, there is certainly room for further improvements. i dislike the clipped highlights so something special here too.

#BEST WAY TO DEVELOPE IMAGES IN DARKTABLE ISO#

On my daily used camera raw images i only use exposure, some contrast and maybe crop and am pretty fine then to a) check for being good enough or delete/reject immediately, b) keep as is or mark for further work or c) go straight into heavy dt work because it’s a really good (lucky) shot. (Keep in mind, this is a raw developer program and not your camera jpeg firmware - i remember from days when i used jpegs i tuned preferences in camera for contrast, sharpening or color mode to get what i liked best) Very short description maybe but that’s roughly how i understand what we dt devs want to achieve. I really disagree here about “being obvious and out of the box”.ĭt tries to get out-of-the-box (or by default) to offer “something pretty good and easy to develop further”. That is not mine opinion, I share it with some other people who use darktable. They can be either realistic or in-camera like, but not the ones they are now. But it is obvious a program should produce good results out of the box.
