Re: [darktable-user] Newbie
Hi, I know this is kind of 90s these days, but it might make sense to take a look at the darktable manual to get an understanding on the concepts and modules. And NO, darktable is no plug-in replacement for Adobe Lightroom. It is a different program with different concepts, strengths and usage. --> Manual: https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/ Highly recommended also the tutorials that Bruce Williams makes: --> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkqe4BYsllmcxo2dsF-rFQw/videos And: you should consider to get a look at the darktable section of pixls.us: --> https://discuss.pixls.us/c/software/darktable/19 Cheers, Martin On 10.04.21 11:39, Leong KT wrote: Is my face red!

There is a Mac version of Darktable, but I have been advised not to install from that. Instead I need to go through a process which involves quite a bit of command lines. That is why I think it is complicated. I guess I can try it step by step. On the other hand, the main reason I want to switch is because Lightroom 6 does not support X100V raw files. I have tried Adobe DNG convertor a few weeks ago and it did not work either. I am glad to hear that Darktable works for X100V. This is a great group. I shall keep in touch with my progress.

But I am really put off by the subscription model and have stuck to Lightroom 6. Recently I bought the Fujifilm X100V. It is like going back to the days when all I had was a beaten up Leica and a 35mm lens. I can concentrate on the photo instead of the equipment. But Lightroom 6 does not support X100V raw files. I have to subscribe to get the update. I am thinking of changing over to Darktable. Does it support X100V raw files? Also, it seems that installing Darktable seems dauntingly complicated.

The culling view has also been rewritten from scratch. Operations are smooth at any screen resolution up to 8k. Many types of overlay are now possible on lighttable thumbs. Different overlay information can be selected depending on the thumb size on the lighttable. The different sizes can be set in the preferences, so we can have no overlay at all for small thumbs and full overlay when large thumbs are displayed. This is fully configurable. Likewise, the tooltip information when hovering the thumbs can be activated/deactivated based on the thumbs size. - The lighttable modules have improved user interaction: buttons are highlighted only when the context makes the action possible. - A complete overhaul of the CSS has been done. This gives darktable a professional look. This continues the goal to make every single aspect of the UI themable using CSS. - The Color Picker and Location modules are updated to better fit into the new UI, and most of the icons have been altered so as to be more visually balanced. - The preference dialog has been fully reviewed and reorganized to propose a better look and require less scrolling. It is also possible to add some CSS rules directly into the preference dialog to tweak darktable's look as well as to directly control the font size and DPI values from the general preference tab. A search field has been added to the shortcuts tab to help you find the keyboard shortcut you want to customize. - The new negadoctor module has been added to help inverting negative films. - A new histogram display called RGB Parade has been added. At the same time the histogram module height can now be adjusted with Ctrl+Scroll. - The metadata feature has been made generic internally and has new features. The user can now select the information they want to see in the metadata editor. This selection is automatically mirrored in the collection and image information modules. Along with a new "notes" field, all the fields are multiline Ctrl+Enter, sizable Ctrl+Scroll and can be set as private (not exported). Metadata collection filters have an entry "not defined". At import time it is possible to choose not to import some metadata. - Image change detection has been made more reliable. This affects the lighttable thumbnails change symbol and history collection filter, which is now more accurate. In darkroom navigation, this avoids the need to recalculate an image and save the xmp file when there is no change. - A new down-sampling preference has been introduced for faster response in darkroom. The preview is either computed at full resolution (original, default value) or at 1/2, 1/3 or 1/4 of the original size. This allow for better performance but can slightly hinder the precision of the guided filter masking. Note that this is a very delicate feature to implement. A lot of care has been taken to ensure all is correct when using down sampling. It touches all areas of darktable, like

Re: [darktable-user] Support for Canon EOS 250D : raw CR3 files
Hi, CR3 currently is not supported as far as I understand. As Canon does not disclose the specs of their raw-formats, any support is the result of a re-engineering effort to make this happen in the used rawspeed library. One thing to do should be to write Canon and request better support for FOSS-software and respective developer communities. The short term solution would be to convert the files from CR3 to DNG (via Adobe's DNG converter that also runs in Wine under Linux) and then start from there with the DNG files. for currently support cameras see --> https://www.darktable.org/resources/camera-support/ Best regards, Martin Am 14.03.20 um 17:54 schrieb Amandine p.: Hello, I downloaded darktable today on Linux to use it with my raw pictures but it seems that RAW CR3 files are not supported by darktable.
