So, pretty please, can you kind people help me figure out which modules I should be using to get the really basic “make the photo look good” stuff done with a minimum of fuss? I’m even pausing videos to try to see what they have in their module stack but it seems like the modules have changed from version 3 to version 4. But I am banging my head against a wall trying to just get the right dang modules so that everything works (I’m using a scene-referred workflow, which I won’t claim to understand but I gather that it’s a better choice). I feel confident that if I just had the right 5-8 modules I could do everything I needed to do to these pictures with a minimum of fuss. You know, the kind of stuff I need to make the RAW file look as good as the JPG from the back of the camera.
White balance, contrast, color saturation, tone curves, highlight reconstruction, black point. Here are the steps I’m using, and what modules I’m using to do them.” And I’m like - should I be using Filmic RGB for basic contrast adjustments? It seems really powerful - but is it the right tool?)Īll I want is basic, straightforward photo-developing stuff: (Even going through YouTube, it feels like I keep finding videos that spend an inordinate amount of time explaining filmic RGB or something like that, and not just a straightforward walkthrough: “here are some portraits. It feels like a dumb question, but I’m banging my head against the wall. So … I wonder if you kind people could help me out. I’m not trying to do anything complicated (yet!) but I find myself just constantly stymied with warnings about multiple modules doing the same thing, and honestly getting my colors to pop is proving frustrating. I can see that before too long I won’t miss Lightroom at all.īut I find myself a bit frustrated figuring out what modules I should be using. I’ve gone through Bruce Williams’ excellent Darktable 4 for new users videos, and they really helped me understand what’s going on, and how this works from a big-picture perspective. So I’m new to Darktable and so far very happy with it as a Lightroom replacement.
