Too put it at its simplest exposure is a good module for correcting exposure i.e. when you haven't chosen the optimum exposure values in your original shot and need/want to compensate for this whereas brightness is a good module for altering the perceptual brightness of an image, even when that image is already correctly/optimally exposed. My personal workflow is always to optimise the exposure first, then play around with the subjective/presentation type stuff afterwards.
-----Original Message----- But if darktable brightness also works linear and NOT mainly on midtones like the above described for lightroom I really wonder why I should use it at all and not stick to exposure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Darktable-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/darktable-users This email is confidential and is intended for the addressee only.
