Hello.  I heard about Darktable through a forum for Digital Photographers.

I joined the forum because I am having great difficulty getting the colors in a 
particular acrylic painting I have done to appear to a level of accuracy I can 
tolerate.

I have been working on monitor and printer calibration for over a week.  I have 
been working on getting the lighting and camera settings as correct as 
possible.  I have hired someone to come tomorrow to try to help me figure out 
why this has been so difficult.

I do suspect it is an issue with the camera, a new Nikon D3200.

In the meantime I have been attempting to edit this particular image with PSE12 
and recent addition of Light Room 5.  To no avail.  So I thought I would try 
Darktable.

I have NO idea what I'm doing but while fiddling around I discovered I could do 
something with the image in Darktable that I haven't been able to do with my 
other editing software.  I have been trying to make one particular color appear 
more accurate.  It is a color that is supposed to be a tint/hue/shade of a 
green.  This color is on a background of various shades of blue.  With your 
software I find that I can actually manipulate all instances of this color.  My 
problem, other than fine tuning the actual color, is that I am trying to do 
this independent of the blues.  I will then need to adjust the blues 
independent of the greens.

I have tried to ascertain how to do this by reading the Darktable manual but it 
is very complicated reading.

Is there a way to help me with instruction I might be able to understand?

Also, I am trying to determine if I can have layers like in PSE 12?  Can't 
figure the answer to that one either, sorry.

I look forward to any help on these matters.

Regards,
Phoebe
