Yes. My first thought on seeing the original question was "yes, but why? this is DT not LR". I'm a Linux user and not conversant wit those windows tools in detail but it occurs to me that what PS is doing is 'layers'. Is that the specific requirement? As you say, Guillermo, DT's tools are powerful. I have a number of books that notionally describe working in PS but I have no problem mentally translating them to work in DT. I'd like to ask the OP about how the LR-PS-LR process re-imports the image back into LR after PS has tweaked it. -- "Minds are what brains do." -- Marvin Minsky ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
