Can I suggest two ways to minimise or avoid artifacts from shadow/highlights module. 1. Switch between soften with Gaussian or soften with bilateral and compare the difference 2. Use two or more instances of shadows/highlights module with smaller adjustments rather than a single use of

Hi Mikael, these presets are just a starting point not the not point. When I used LR I just let the default Adobe Standard be the picture style that started the editing process. Once I started changing the image with all of LRs sliders the starting point was no longer relevant as I had

You could embed a watermark on the photo and position it such that it's visible, but out of the way. Willy Williams -- "You don't take a picture. You ask quietly and humbly to borrow it." - Unknown -- On 7/27/20 2:47 PM, Kent Tenney wrote: Howdy, I've come to like the Shotwell feature

I do agree that I still have a need for some tonal adjustment after using filmic (which is now my default path). The lack of highlight detail/contrast ... most often in the sky or snow texture is where I have the greatest difficulty. I still resort to using the highlight-shadows module

Create a style using framing to put a white border around the image and then the watermark module with simple text selected and $(FILE_NAME) as the text. Adjust scaling and position. Save the style as proof print or whatever, then apply it on export to create your proof print. On Mon, Jul 27,

Howdy, I've come to like the Shotwell feature of adding the filename below the image on a print. Very useful for locating the file of a proof print. Is there a way to configure Darktable, or an extension which would offer this feature? Thanks, Kent

This is just a comment on the filmic module. I like it actually over the base curve but I still find the need to adjust certain tones, emphasizing them with the tone curve. I don't think that will change. The filmic adjustments are often too coarse. Also, for some reason, compared to using

After you have read the replies to your initial question, I am sure that you must be quite confused. Let me try to more correctly find an answer that may make sense. There are two possible development 'routes' in darktable. 1.) uses the 'base curve'; 2.) uses the 'filmic-rgb' module. If you

I have enabled the base curve with preset "sony alpha like" (since I have Sony cameras), and that is better than without. But I have a hard time understanding how to manually edit the base curve in a useful way. I can edit it, and I see how the image changes, but it feels quite random to me.
