How To Select the Best Images Using darktable

You're using darktable, and you need to cull hundreds or thousands of images from a photoshoot? You can do that right inside darktable instead of purchasing additional software like PhotoMechanic to preview and select photos. darktable has a dedicated culling mode where you can compare images side by side, but I've found that's too slow because it requires moving from mouse to keyboard and back...

    Honestly, after fiddling with DT for couple of year I came to a conclusion - the simpler the better. Al this very finicky tools like Color calibration or filmic rgb are very fascinating from pure technical standpoint, in the end of the day what matters is what gives you good and predictable result, so I ended up with White balance for white balancing and Base curve as a tone mapping tool.

      Your white balance slider with still function the same as in the video. Getting a visual of the color on the white balance slider itself is a setting you can change in darktable

    Kudos to you for admitting your mistake. the cc module is both very complex and very powerful. It's well worth the time spent getting familiar with it. It also replaces the old channel mixer and the grey tab does a fabulous monochrome conversion. However, I agree that new, inexperienced users may well be more comfortable with the wb module. Thanks for taking time to make the video.

    The Ch are quite good at cloning, ok. It's what sets them apart - Mark Bennet rates the quality of the Yongnuo 85 f/1.8 as perhaps "the best kept secret" in the photography world. Yep! It beats high-enders like Nikkor & Sony 85 mm f/1.8, and at less than half those price tags. The Ch say - this is a special service they provide for ordinary folks out there - accessibility! others of course call it theft. Interesting. great presentation & tks! for sharing. Ps: the motor mechanism on my newly arrived Y 35mm f/2 only lasted for a couple of shoots; unfortunately, and quite disappointing! but manual focus makes up for this disaster; Seems the Ch have since upped the cloning game? mmm?
