Good morning community, I have been using darktable for some years and I appreciate the cleanliness of the results and the power of the tools. However the ability to associate and other development software. I sequentially write some tips that could greatly improve the usability of the software. - Manual version 3.x - Fujifilm files are selected without any correspondence with the jpeg sooc, even if it was saved without special settings on the camera. Raw Therapee, for example, does not have this type of problem, since for each file a different ad-hoc tonal curve is applied, which uniforms the open file to the jpeg (sooc) obviously this equalization can be disabled in order to obtain a raw file "clean" "not processed" Other software (such as Lightroom C01 or ON1, for example, read the metadata present in the .raf file and reproduce the file almost exactly compared to the jpeg sooc already in the opening phase using the "AUTO" mode.
-Module "basic settings" and "shadows highlights" at the programming level makes sense, but a development level is senseless to have 2 distinct modules, and they are unified. - The development modules are classified according to a logical programming order, not to photographic editing, it would be interesting if they could be floating, so that they could be reorganized according to their work logic, at least when it comes to a defined workflow the user, this without modifying the logical approach for which the modules are coincepiti. - For the anchor module, it would be useful to generate a popup with the "mouse over" preview, which shows the preview of the photo you are working on with a preview of the set of settings that you intend to use with that specific preset. -The "clone" tool should be extended with the possibility of integrating something similar to the "patch" or "patch" tools of other software, that is, which recognize and mask. Automatically replace the area drawn according to a point or path with adjacent areas. The retouching tools currently present in darktable are very effective, but impractical and therefore not suitable for use at speed. -An instrument that samples and replaces the identified color with the dropper should be inserted. This tool should have the possibility to manage aspects such as "intervention amplitude, saturation, brightness". This color tool would be more practical to be able to manage it with color wheels to identify the width and with slides to change the parameters. Something similar to what Capture One does. I repeat mine are suggestions to develop a software that I already consider very valid and I would like it to be extended to become one of the best, I thank the community for the wonderful work it is doing.
