@ Patrick, thank you! I will give that a try. About half of the photos are raw files, the rest are jpgs. Does the fix you mention only work on raw files?
The images are from a Fuji X-T10, and for many of my darker indoor shots (behind-the-scenes concert photography, in this case), it's easier to get what I want by working with the associated jpgs. Otherwise I find myself having to fiddle with the base curve a lot more than I can afford to, time-wise. Fuji must use a lot of complex AI in its in-camera jpg processing, because I can't seem to come up with a single good basecurve to serve as a starting point. The one included with dt is always wrong in the darker areas, and requires very touchy minute adjustments (even touchy in the logarithmic view) that are really hard to control. When shooting Canon, I used to only play with the raw files, as the profiles for it in dt gave me a really good starting point. It's much harder with Fuji's x-trans files, hence my working with jpgs. -Mark On Sun, Jan 8, 2017, 10:42 PM Patrick Shanahan <p...@opensuse.org> wrote: > * Mark Patey <mjpa...@gmail.com> [01-08-17 20:24]: > > Hi, all- > > > > I'm pleased to report that for the most part, darktable has been quiet > as a > > church mouse when it comes to crashes, glitches, etc. But at the moment, > > I'm experiencing an exception to that rule... > > > > After about 3 hours of work, darktable closed unexpectedly while I was > > drawing a path to define a mask.
