Hey I'm Dylan, I love photography (and now a little bit of video) and just generally like creating things (also check out my podcast videos 😁).
I'm basically a cheapskate, so a lot of what I'm going to talk with you about is how I get by on photography with spending as little money as possible!
😂 That includes using free (good) software, making your own camera bags, and the benefits of hoarding tech widgets. Also, there will be cats 😻
Thanks for checking my channel out!

How To Select the Best Images Using darktable
มุมมอง 4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
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...

great video mate! straight to the point! saved my life! thanks a miliion
Is the dark table link is packed with malware? Because I am hesistant to download! Please help me.
If you download from darktable.org, it's fine. I've never had an issue
Thanks, Dylan! This was a well-spent 27 minutes. Great introduction to Darktable!
awesome! I'm glad it was helpful for you 👍👍👍👍
Hi and thanks for the helpful vid. For anyone finding this one now, like me, the basic info on parametric masks is still valid but a lot has changed with DT in the last year.
Thanks for the info. I may have to do an updated video on parametric masks. It's one of my favorite tools
Is there a lens hood that you can get for it
Great video, i am new to editing and have just downloaded darktable 4.8. This video helps explain what the different modules actually do. You have any more similar ones? What is sigmoid and is it something worth learning to use
I have some other videos about specific tools in darktable, but not another 101-style video going over various levels of editing sophistication
@DylanLiveLifeCreative il check it out. Just need to learn key tools of editing and what they actually do so I know whether or not my pics need them. This video answered most of that
Thank you for this video! I have an itzy ritzy diaper bag that I LOVE but it just wasn’t working for me as a diaper bag so I’ve been trying to see if using it as a camera bag would work
You're welcome! My green shoulder bag worked really good for me, until I bought too much gear to fit in it anymore 😂😂
Thank you sooo much!!!!
Thank you for sharing, you have helped me a lot with your videos, they are simple and explanatory. I hope you can give more tips with practical examples that you can do in your photos. I am from Brazil. Following your channel, thanks!!
There's a really high frequency noise in your audio
bloody annoying 'style' - I'm out
Why use a totally unsharp picture!?
Great video! Very easy to understand! Thank you!
Thank you!
Music too loud
yup
Please dump the very annoying background music!! Then I would consider subscribing to your channel
Why must there always be very annoying background music!!!!??? Stop listening after 30 seconds! It's super annoying!
I agree with these guys in 8:24 There was definitely something weird going on with the sound, some sort of crackling. Happy to see you fixed it in this video. Anyway both this and that video are awesome, thank you for sharing this knowledge with us. Much better that swimming through white paper manuals written by tech nerds!
Great video, do you have any links to where you can download then preset packs?
Thank you for taking the time to create this video.
can you turn up the music a bit
Wonderful video, thank you so much for this!
grey colors are not affected at all
i cant find the contras brightness saturation in my dark table
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.
Wait, my white balance slider didn't have a color in it, any clue or solution?
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
@@DylanLiveLifeCreative and where I can find it? What options did I have to check on it?
"Full time manual-focus" feature was a relatively recent thing, not the norm, if you live long enough.
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.
at 2.38 how did you manage to turn yourself upside down?
DaVinci Resolve, the video editing software I use, has controls to flip your video recording in different ways, like rotating it upside down
It's wonderful that you focused on two clear examples and did not get side-tracked on the multitude of options (whose explanations could wait for another day). This was truly productive.
Glad it was helpful!
Good video. Loose the music. It's not helpful.
Haha yep
Good stuff! Hope you're doing well man.
Thanks! You too!
Very good and educational video - especially for a newbie like myself.
Glad it was helpful!
I have a Nikon D5300 and I’m learning photography and more specifically brand photography would this be any good for that?
Just a heads up (if you hadn't noticed) that your clients' names appear to be visible at some points of the video.
Sorry, the lith is to distracting.
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?
Hi there. I have a question because im working with Darktable too. I want to give my photots a dark moody tone. In Lightroom there are lots of tutorials but the sliders in Lightroom are not the same as in darktable and im not able to get a good result. Would be very cool if you have some advises for me. Thanks :)
does dark table has a tool like "content aware fill"?
Fantastic! 👍Thank you!
...superb..!
One useful thing would be to put up in a corner which Darktable version is current as of the making of your video. Thanks for this VERY useful video!!
Thanks for the idea. I may just have to try harder to stay up to date on the most current version of dt, and make sure the top bar of the dt window displays the version I'm using
Excellent video... well done!
Thank you!
@@DylanLiveLifeCreativeGlad to see you still on your channel. Hope youll be back soon with more darktable tutorials. All the best!
Thank you making this video. Out of curiosity, what Linux distribution are you using?
Just what I need and was looking fo, thanks! I can tolerate a bit of distracting noise -- all for the cause, you know, but your choice here destroys comprehension. Try something by Motzar, next time.
To introduce your video with a picture you end up not editing was kinda odd.
So glad you solved the lens hood problem. I had that same issue. Even though I do not use the lens a lot, I do like to have lens hoods for all my gear. The guy I bought it from gave me one that screws in and told me, there are no proper lens hoods for this lens.
My darktable never looks like anyone else's. None of those sliders are in color. There's no color brightness saturation tool in mine. I'm on the newest version but it's been the same every time I've ever tried to learn about it.
is it possible to reuse parametric mask same as drawn mask?
The music spoils the this video
