I miss darktable's parametric masking when using Gimp now, so I've been attempting to use darktable in more "interesting" ways that I would have used layers for previously. While doing so, I found the following things odd:
While trying to mask the most saturated areas of an image, the "virtual S of HSL" chroma channel was seeing fairly pale skintones as more saturated than, say, a very saturated-looking piece of blue-cyan clothing, for example, giving very unexpected results, and different from those of the LCh chroma channel on the modules which use that. I understand that they are not the same thing, but should they be that different? I created a full-saturation spectrum gradient in gimp, such that moving across it with the color sampler showed a consistent saturation of 100%, and doing the same in darktable with the HSL S channel showed much higher values centering on RGB than on CMY bands, but this may not be a very good test. I don't have a color card to photograph. Can anyone confirm that this is expected behavior? If so, I'll shut up and adapt to it. :) Another unexpected (by me) thing is that when using the "difference" blending mode in Lab space modules, the image is completely desaturated, even with opacity set at 0%. This doesn't happen with RGB modules. Again, this may be a known and expected behavior, in which case sorry for the noise. I just found it slightly confusing at first, not knowing much about the inner workings of the various color models. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
