Hi Ricardo,
I think that your characterizations may be a bit harsh. I would like to
tell you about an interview on Parkinson (a British TV show where
various celebrities were invited to share aspects of their lives). On
this occasion Parkinson had invited Yehudi Menuhin and Stephane
Grappelli, Yehudi was a virtuoso classical violinist and Stephane was a
jazz violinist. The interview was really interesting and at the end of
it Menuhin performed a jazz piece composed for him by Grappelli. It was
full of life and humour and the "phrasing" was perfect, and jazz
phrasing is more "felt" than taught. The thing is, here, that Menuhin
was classically trained and so his instrument became an extension of
himself, man and violin were one. He was trained in a rigid structure
that most violinists endure, he could provoke emotions of pathos and
comedy, sadness and joy, all because he learned what his instrument
could do. So once he understood the "tools of his trade" he could play
anything.
In a similar fashion if you learn the order of progression of the tools
in Darktable, your work will become more efficient and more pleasant. I
have seen edits presented on YouTube which involve around 30 modules,
apparently common in landscape photography, whereas I use around 6
modules as a rule, I am a studio photographer and I work on getting as
much right as I can through metering and exposing correctly. Is there
more I could do? Sure, and I do learn incrementally, but just what I need.
I encourage you to allow yourself to work with the order of Darktable so
that your intuition may become informed and your intuition and workflow
become one.
Cheers
Andrew Greig

Agreed, I thank you, and some others, for explainig and discussing the
ideia, but I also I note the first 3 out of 4 replies:
«If you want to use darktable "intuitively" you need to learn about
darktables pipeline...»
(i.e., the users' intuition is wrong, DT's way is the only right way.
Also the person replying "knows" the user has not learnt about the
pipeline)
«Then use another tool.»
«No, but people who understand what they do.»
(i.e. people asking for something are clueless)
«why don't you make a feature request accompanied with your
explanation so it is understood?»
(i.e. shut up, don't discuss it here)
