looks a nice setup. I suspect putting in a bright 6500K LED bulb would help and as suggested additional blue filtration might be good as well. Advantage of LED is cool temperature so less problems with heat bending negatives in the holder. On Thu, 13 Aug 2020 at 15:07, jys wrote: > > > On Wed,

I have to agree that improving the brush in DT to function more like LRs is worth doing. I have abandoned use of the brush in DT because it is nowhere near as functional as LRs. That being said, I find using the path tool to draw around an region leaves the LR brush for dead. What I really like

Thanks Burce. Yes as you've said IT IS POSSIBLE. But you have to use multiple tools and even then it is not as easy as with brush tool in LR. Yes I know there are many people who hates comparison with LR but if there is some good and effective tool I don't think is wrong to learn from this.

Hello, I am still learning darktable (new since July) and upgraded from 3.0.2 to 3.2.1 on Windows 10. In darktable 3.0.2 I had the "auto-apply of the base curve" switched off (empty tick box) in the preferences. Now in 3.2.1 it does always apply the base curve whether ticked on or not. I guess

Hi, you want to take an image of the emulsion layer (which contains the photographic information). You do want to have as little as possible in between that layer and your lens, not even the film carrier. Mirroring can be done in software easily, lost information can't be regained. Uwe

I believe white balance is nothing to worry about. Anyway you adjust channels individually in negadoctor module without any reference to the bulb type. The only thing you should worry about is to get no clipping in individual channels of your "scan". Timur. On Thu, 2020-08-13 at 08:27 +0200,
