I am still struggling with the pastell technique you showed last time. I could not develop my recent beach pictures from Holland to the look yet. But it is so motivating to see you using Darktable so easily. Thanks for your patience to show what's possible with this great tool.
An excellent episode on RGB Primary and some technical detail on Colour Grading I think I will need to watch it a few more times to get the full benefits of all the details
Thank you Boris I learn quite a lot with your explanations. If I correctly understand, with the RGB primaries module we can perform most of the transformations we use to do with the Channel mixer, in a much easyer way, with less sliders
You seriously need to let us buy you a cup of coffee or something. If you could see the digital images I was producing before I heard the word Darktable and what I'm doing now, I think you would be quite happy with your teaching.:)) I know that I am.
Hi Boris, it's very interesting how you and I think in exactly the opposite ways about channel mixing. :-) For example, you'd say 'add red to the green' (meaning you shift green towards red, turning what was initially green into e.g. yellow, so it's logical), where I would say 'add green into red' (meaning calculate output red = input red + some amount of input green). I guess yours is the result-oriented, perhaps more 'intuitive', and mine the math-oriented approach.
Yes, I come more from the artistic corner and I refer to the color mixing in painting, so it is indeed more result-oriented. My logic would be more like, “I have to make grass more yellowish, which means I have to add red to the green. That is indeed easier for me to understand. However, the problem with this logic is that the other colors that have to do with green also change and the white point is also shifted. Then things get more complicated. :)
I use the RGB primaries to replicate the camera profiles for my Canon camera like landscape and oneof my favorite downloadable profilesfor Canon DPP, Autumn Hues. I found this module seems to work better than luts, which seem to create color artifacts in near gamut colors.
Exactly. Rgb primaries can be understood as a simplified and reduced version of channel mixer to make small color corrections relatively quickly and easily.
Thanks for the tutorial! Can you maybe do a video on how to prepare a picture for printing, maybe with the soft proofing functionality? E.g. Saal Digital offers some ICC profiles for different Papers which can be used for soft proof.
Ditto that request. I just attended 2 seminars by Moab paper on printing but alas, everything was tailored to Photoshop/Lightroom. They went into great detail about calibrating monitors, profiles for different papers, etc. but I have no idea where to pop that info into Darktable:))
Very nice video as always. So what I'm taking away from this is that the RGB primaries module seems to be an easier to use version of the channel mixer. Is there any reason to use the channel mixer then? What can the channel mixer do that the primaries module can't?
Channel mixer can do a lot more. As you can see in video, the rotation of hue in rgb primaries is limited to protect the white point. The channel mixer has no limitation and accordingly offers a much wider range of creative implementation.
This is not a program for amateur hobbyists. I don't know why you should complicate the program so much and make photo editing a pain instead of a pleasure
Yay! Another upload from the best Darktable user! I've learnt so much from Boris already. Looking forward to this tutorial. Many thanks to Boris.

As always, big thank U DarkMaster

Yes.
This video is fundamental for understanding Darktable. Thank you very much.
Thank you for another excellent video. Using Gimp to show what is happening in the color channels is really helpful to me.
That was an excellent educational video. Can't wait for the next installment.
This will be really useful as.I have not understood this module yet. Thanks very much. Again! Always the best person to explain these things.
Thank you Boris!

Your lessons are like magic lessons :)
Really great - once again, thanks.

danke für das video...wirklich gut erklärt und ich konnte wieder was dazulernen
I wish I was smart enough to use darktable effectively, thanks for your tutorial.
Just from the title of the video I know I will like it and learn a lot 😍
Great explanation and examples!

Great video, Boris. It seems that RGB Primaries are a good companion, and not a replacement to the channel mixer in Color Calibration
Exactly. Rgb primaries can be understood as a simplified and reduced version of channel mixer to make small color corrections relatively quickly and easily.
Do you have a recently Video over denoicining?
Thank you. Gracias.
