![]() The original raw file, the sidecar file and now thirdly, the LUT file. With LUTs there's the problem that now you need three files instead of two, to reproduce an image. I think some of the AGFA emulations you've already seen in some of my recent uploads. There's an absolute wealth of film emulations distributed as luts that I previously couldn't use via Darktable. Well now Darktable 3.0 has full support for LUT files, including these HaldCLUT png files. I need to figure out a way to revert to a version that is usable. When that is selected, I do local adjustments and sometimes go deeper into curves to achieve local contrast ("Clarity" in Adobeland) and other things. Not a programmer or computer nerd and not looking to become one. Speaking of tone curves, the major reason to use tone curves for me are the film emulations by Joao Pedro Almeida. I still base most of my work on the default base curve and tone curves. What was introduced in 2.6, "filmic" to replace base curve when desired, is now obsolete and "Filmic RGB" is a rewrite of that feature. I don't think it works perfectly yet but I can't but wonder: is it allowed to have tools this easy? The team does a great job offering updates and improving an already very good software. Love it Big fan of darktable from the beginning when it first came out. First, you can now adjust the histogram height size. Open source software such as darktable is a free alternative to expensive standalone and subscription-based photo editing software. ![]() In terms of image editing, the histogram in darktable incorporates a pair of major new features. ![]() Not exactly Silver Efex but cool nonetheless. The lighttable in darktable 3.2 includes improved performance, new visual options and a refined user interface. But it's more because of the program's extreme flexibility, which is also an asset. This is in part because it's modeled on Lightroom, so in a sense it aspires to be every bit as impenetrable as anything from Adobe. I'm not sure yet what to think about the feature but there's now a cool zone-system-esque module called "Tone equalizer" which defines 8 zones to the picture and you can manipulate them by pointing to something in the picture and wheeling your mouse to push or pull that zone. Let me say right off, Darktable wasn't easy to love at first. Mark G.Adams Review Camera, Darktable, Editing, Film, Images, Photography, Software Another year is ending (and ended) with a new Darktable release, and the free and open source community brings us another stunning release with Darktable 4.2. ![]()
