I shoot youth soccer and get 700-1200 images per game. I am trying to adjust my work-flow to Darktable but find several time consuming issues. I am unable to rate and tag photos as I edit, must flip back and forth between lighttable and darkroom views.
I rate and/or reject each photo in turn during editing and also add a tag with the player's uniform number for later separation into game sub albums for parents to view. It would really improve my work-flow if I were able to apply tags and ratings (including reject) from the darkroom during editing instead of constantly flipping back and forth. And, frequently returning to lighttable view provides the first photo rather than the corresponding darkroom photo. Then it is very time consuming finding the correct *next* photo. I have also noticed that turning on cropping does not automagically enable it but a mouse click on one of the cropping options is necessary or twice clicking on the "cropping" module. And that straightening must be performed before cropping ??? I did make a style which applies base curve, sharpen, exposure and enables cropping upon importing. Suggestions are welcome. I am sure that my approach is causing much of my frustration. tks for a great product, quality of the output is great. ps: I have used BibblePro5/AfterShotPro and the work-flow is wonderful but the quality of the software is very low with constant crashes which relate to feature entry speed and/or option selection. And this is on an i7/12gb and raid sata3 data drives and ssd program drive. BibblePro5 was better before being sold :^(. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
