Re: [darktable-user] filmic vs base curve

2019-04-08 Thread David Vincent-Jones
Two immediate possibilities come to mind. 1.) Is your white-balance 
still in the pipeline? 2.) if you are using the 'presets' then 
preserve-the-chrominance is automatically turned on and this does make 
quite a difference in overall tone.


For myself, I find the output color acceptable.

Hi Guys,

It is possible to change the image of course with color correction or 
something else. But when I compare filmic vs basecurve - the basecurve 
gives me a color very close to the naturally scene while the filmic 
looks much redder to me and it is also loosing the yellow hues seen in 
the golden hour.


I read https://www.darktable.org/2018/12/darktable-26/ and what I am 
perceiving is that it is targeted to balance the image to avoid over 
exposure and preserve details. Color can be enhanced / saturated but 
my concern is the balance. The two results are just too far from one 
another with absolutely minimum processing.


Can you please point me to what am I missing?

Thank you,

To use the filmic module to its fullest abilities, you must ensure you 
disable any automatically applied base curve. Something to check.

OK, so... is there a way to force DT to import photos from a list ?
Unless I misunderstood, there is nothing about this int the section about the

Re: [darktable-user] Keeping DT in sync between multiple computers

2019-04-08 Thread Benjamin Daines
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Just another update on my situation, perhaps it's less than elegant,
but when it comes to making money elegance doesn't matter too
much. I've no got an alias set up in .bashrc: 

alias covdt='darktable . --library ./xmp/dtlibrary.db'
(My workflow is to create the subfolders ./tiff ./jpg ./xmp when
working on a folder of RAW files.)

I'll use that to launch darktable, which will store a library file for
each folder / project I work on directly in the project folder on the
hard drive that I carry between computers.  I've tested this, and it
does handle the multiple versions I was having issues with perviously. 

Not the cleanest solution, having library files all over the place, but
it will work and I don't need to worry about syncing or corrupting a
database if I screw up and open it in two locations at once (if I were
to store it on a server). 

Feel free to continue discussion, seeing what everyone's been coming up
with has been interesting and enlightening. 

Thanks.

Re: [darktable-user] input color profile

2019-04-08 Thread Coding Dave
Hi,

I have found the cause of the issue (For Michiel at least) and filed an
issue https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/2357
You should be able to workaround the issue by shortening the name of the
icc profile. If this does not work for you then you face a different issue
and need to file a separate regression report.

Kind regards
Dave

  181213_122731_aaa_2622.nef.xmp
  181213_133958_aaa_2622_01.nef.xmp
  181213_133958_aaa_2622_02.nef.xmp

is correct.  blame it on brown bottles :)

Hi Benjamin,

I just wanted to add another possibility: git annex.

I use it (successfully) for keeping my RAWs, the XMPs and the db in
sync. Either over network or an external USB hard drive. Once it's set
up, it's a simple matter of `git annex sync --all` and / or the usual
git operations. And you can add additional backup locations easily.

Cheers!
