Thank you so much for all of your videos. I found darktable when I tried to import a raw file into Gimp. I just got into photography about two years ago. I have about five years until I retire, so I figured I better find something to learn so I would have something to do. I played around with darktable for about a year watching everybody's videos but yours. When I watched one of your videos for the first time a year ago I was blown away. Your teaching style is awesome! When I get home from work every day I sit down at my computer for at least two hours and practice editing. About six weeks ago everything started working really well, and I'm really understanding how to use this program. Thank you so much.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. For me the least intuitive part of the edit is using the color mixer in the color calibration module. I'm impressed how you can so easily select the input color an know how to adjust each output color to achieve what you want. I suspect this come from many hours of practice.
Many thx for this wonderful video, it is a good example to re-create the same result in Darktable of vivid photographers, it would also be great to see how you would process this photo.
In the last example, the other guy removed the grass in the bottom left area of the photo. Can't that be done with DT? Thanks in advance, very instructive series!
This is an incredible video, I always wanted this kind of content so I can learn faster than just me reading documentation and then trial and error, thank you. Now I have a quick question, if I want to remove the grass (like in the first example picture) which tool in the retouch module would you use?
Darktable is definitely better; When we look at the cloud details, we see the difference. Sigmoid is beautiful. Thanks for this enjoyable video. 🙏🏻 The only thing I'm curious about is a video on the difference between RCD, Amaze and LMMSE demosaicing and which one we should use.
Thank you for your quick reply. I read the link you gave. What I want to tell is an analysis and evaluation like this one. th-cam.com/video/lso1lSkS9XY/w-d-xo.html Regards.
Many thanks. It's awesome, as always. One question, though: Are you switching from filmic to sigmoid, at least for pictures with a reasonable tonal range? Best.
Great Videos, real fun learnings. I'm wondering how to adjust the lines for cropping and mask areas from grey to green. I guess it is managed via css. If so, any tip what item to change?
Thank you for this video but quite frankly, I wouldn't want to edit like most of those you were trying to replicate because they had no realism, especially the "green sky" version. What were they thinking?
Well, this is actually a type of color grading technique known as "teal and orange" that is very popular in both film and photography. But it is very over-used and must be applied with great care. It doesn't necessarily correspond to my aesthetic vision, but I've included it here because it was part of the results presented in the video in question.
Well faked. Now Mona Lisa, please - I am ready to take notes. My taste is towards the first example of the three, though too much contrast in landscapes tends to counter my understanding of a natural look. As far as I remember the Phototripper, Gavin Hardcastle, had placed a whale! in the pond in the foreground (perfectly plausible). I am sure you would have been able to replicate that variant too, Boris - in Darktable, or maybe with a bit help from Gimp?
@@s7habo I am in the process of giving up on Adobe. I have used Photoshop, ACR with Bridge since PS 3, but the ransom payment principle has become annoying. So I am trying to learn Darktable 4.2 and combine it with Affinity Photo 2. It's not that difficult for my level of photography. By now I can replicate in DT what I have been able to do in ACR. Affinity Photo 2 represents the opposite - it has strange limitations compared to PS. But of course, it's very easy to finance. I like your videos, the analyzes, the step wise progression and of course your skills with the tools. Very good teaching, and I hope to learn more.
@@Eigil_Skovgaard I'm glad to hear that. Switching from one software to another is much more difficult than learning from scratch. I've been down that road as well. In this respect I am gladly available for questions. However, the TH-cam comments section is not necessarily well suited for this. I will recommend you rather discussion forum on pixls.us: discuss.pixls.us/ There are users, converts and developers of Darktable and other free software photo editing software, and that is the best way to get good answers.

It would be easier to compare the files if you open the jpg first and take a snapshot. So when you go and edit the raw file you can switch on the snapshot anytime to compare.

Healing Tool.

Yes. I like contrast and colors that you get without touching other modules.

@Boris Hajdukovic thanks, much easier than expected. Should have asked earlier 😏

By the way, you seem to like my videos which makes me very happy. Do you use darktable yourself or do you just find the videos interesting?
