    Hi! Im just a week in to this software. After hours of study, with regard to working on my Fuji Raw files I discovered the Magic Lantern setting in Exposure>presets>magic lantern. Select this and boomshaka, the raw is presented as it looks in the light table image. Ive been on youtube a lot, Why is knowbody talking about this? I can find no mention of it it at all in my Google searches. What version did it come out in?

      If it's just an activation of a module, you can do two things: either copy the denoising of one image onto many in the lighttable or else, create a preset in the denoise module that applies to all images.

    AI kills creativity in the following ways: 1. It disincentivises human expression by making craft and creative intention redundant 2. It creates more competition in the creative space, discouraging creative people from trying to be original and new in the first place 3. It puts society’s focus on the efficiency of creative expression rather than on creative expression itself. Michelangelo may not have created David had he been told by everyone that he was taking too long The biggest evil of AI is that it is replacing creative people who nobody wanted to replace, while failing to provide any genuine solutions to any actual problems that threaten our entire species, such as disease, inequality and climate change. We can all paint like Da Vinci but we don’t even know what’s causing our headache. We are living in Black Mirror. God help us.

    • @JasonPolakPhotography

      Absolutely right. And #3 is a continuation of the process already started by big tech platforms to reduce creative expresssion to the creation of mere psychological sugar devoid from the original expressive intent.

  • @sherab2078
    @sherab2078 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Nice video, as usual. 👍 But why not use the exposure module (with the mask, of course)? I guess this is about the control the curve gives, right? Still, Darktable is now all about the scene-referred workflow. Personally, I find it gives me the best results when I stick to the tools working in this workflow instead of the legacy display-referred modules. For working in the display-referred workflow I guess I prefer RawTherapee. But that's just me.

    • @JasonPolakPhotography
      @JasonPolakPhotography 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The tone curve can be used to manipulate only the darker tones. The exposure module, as you hinted, would also come with the risk of brightening the brighter tones, which is undesirable. Of course, the tone equalizer, a scene-referred module, could equally well be used. But, I find the tone curve more precise, with less fiddling. Much more intuitive in my opinion. I do attempt to use scene-referred modules when possible, but in many side-by-side tests, I have not found a strict adherence to scene-referred to make any difference, and in some cases it's just more cumbersome. TBH, the tone curve suits me much more psychologically. At least in the way I think, it's much more intuitive than any of its scene-referred equivalents. (Though I do like the tone equalizer.) Same thing with the color zones vs color equalizer. Of course, I use the color equalizer almost all the time. But sometimes, the color zones modules just gives better results in specific cases, maybe because it's display-referred, not sure. The conclusion I've come to is: use scene-referred, but don't be afraid to use legacy modules if they work better for specific use cases.

    • @JasonPolakPhotography
      @JasonPolakPhotography 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you very much. If you want to pick the color for the vignette, there are some options in darktable. Perhaps the easiest is to use the exact same technique in the video, but with the colorize module. Create an inverted elliptical mask and then just choose your color and saturation, and decrease the brightness. (The color balance RGB module is another option that also gives you some tonal control over the shadows and highlights. Or the RGB curve too...but colorize may be the easiest.)

    • @JasonPolakPhotography
      @JasonPolakPhotography 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I am not really sure spectral display+box select+delete is faster. First, and most importantly, spectral display doesn't easily display every type of click. It DOES display some kinds easily, but not others as precisely as the waveform. Second, what I display here is very fast -- if you do it right. I have keys on the left hand side of my keyboard mapped to repair, silence, delete, and zoom, and I can remove clicks VERY quickly using the method in the video. I also do other custom adjustments that seems much more intuitive in the waveform mode as well. At this point, I just hear the click and it's gone in the next moment. While your method is pretty good for some kinds of clicks, I don't think it is ideal for producing the highest quality in the shortest time.

    Editing countless photos of runners from a weekly park run, speed is my game. Not wanting to just upload a dump of raw images to the community each week - many of which are duds, near duplicates or poorly framed, I need speed to: 1. Sift through thousands of images, deleting the duds/dupes 2. Of the remaining images, crop them. 3. Rare images might get further editing to make them pop a little more. I initially tried Darktable, that I thought was excellent - but eventually I got caught up in the options/UI, and any image I touched would be unwantingly altered. I got caught up in terminology and processes that as a hobby photographer were just a little beyond me. I then found RawTherapee, but didn't have the same struggle. It allowed me to quickly go through each image, remove the duds/dupes, and crop select images, and alter a few select images. For the purpose's of quickly parsing thousands of images of runners each Saturday morning, RawTherapee wins that race - but that said, I'm sure if I did a course to learn more about Darktable I'd probably resolve the config issue and then they'd both be just as suitable as each other for my photo processing.

    darktable, compared to DXO, also allows you to visualize your images on a map. In addition, I might be wrong but it looks like DXO doesn' t have a liquify tool but only the clone tool.

      Technically I use the GIMP as a program for other things but virtually never for photography. TBH I don't have a need for any raster program at all in photography except focus stacking, where I use Zerene Stacker. Darktable with a combination of the contrast equalizer and diffuse or sharpen seems more than sufficient, at least to my eyes. Or RT with its capture sharpening and its slightly superior denoising.

    Jason, you had me worried there for a second. I'll kick in my favorite combination without anyone noticing it: DARKTABLE combined with DxO PureRAW 4, the latter with a denoising system that probably is identical to the one in PhotoLab 8 - but with full screen preview. I also own PhotoLab 7 due to a temporary lapse of reason one year ago. If you download and test PhotoLab 8, be sure to test it thoroughly throughout the trial period. The principle for local adjustments is special. Then buy it - or forget it. In any case download the free alternative, Darktable, learn it and edit RAWs like a pro. Btw. Darktable is very good at improving JPGs too ;O)

      Indeed. My favourite editor for sure! I would be terribly sad if I had to switch to something else.

      They have a system where you can send in Raw files for support. It does work but takes a bit of time between updates.

    I have a different touch-me-not plant. It's the mimosa pudica. Does it have seed pods? All I see are the pink flowers. Do those produce seed pods when they die? I want to ensure my indoor interactive, temperamental plant continues it's life after it's done flowering. I've heard they die after they produce flowers. Also, if the seeds naturally fall into the same soil the current living plant is in, will they automatically grow new plants?

    • @JasonPolakPhotography

      The seed pods are produced after the flowers die. Not sure how the flowers are involved. I suggest checking out this website that seems to suggest you can continue it easily: www.gardenia.net/plant/mimosa-pudica-sensitive-plant-grow-care-guide

    Sir do you think it is good too for sports photography? Thanks

      It can work for fun but a cheap zoom lens will give you a much higher keeper rate.

    I know you didnt get many hits with this video, but i found it ironic that such an excellent video kn Shannon's entropy is found on a bird photography channel! Thanks for making it!

      Yeah kinda weird, though I was a mathematician before I was a bird photographer! Cheers :)

    Is it only for dslr? Can I use this lens for mirrorless?

    Would be nice if they would both work together so that you can process some things in one and the rest in the other. That would be nice to leverage RawTherapee's dark frame subtraction and then have darktable do the more advanced edits.

    If people weren't addicted to chasing megapixels we could have 3 chip cameras and we wouldn't have to worry about this stuff.

    • @JasonPolakPhotography
      @JasonPolakPhotography หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nah, it's not a big problem and out of all the things on cameras, megapixels are actually useful...at least for wildlife.
