HI all,
Darktable is a fantastic program thanks to the incredible effort of the
developers. Hats off to the dedicated developers for DT 3.4.0. It is a very
sophisticated program that requires time to learn. But it is really worth
learning. There are some great video resources for those who learn by
watching and there is the user manual which is a must read for each module
when you first start using a new module. I don't believe the developers
should or could make Darktable beginner friendly without compromising what
makes Darktable great. Possibly the basic adjustment module could have a
few more features added to it like denoise, sharpening, local contrast
which would just be duplicating commonly used features from other modules
and placing them in one place. That would make it easier for the beginner
and the person who only wants simple edits.
