Re: [darktable-user] Mask won't apply

2022-02-07 Thread Terry Pinfold
Hi Hieke,
   with respect I say that you seem confused about working with masks. I 
hope the following explanation may help you.

 I often want to brighten or darken a section of an image, similar to how I 
would have dodged or burned in a traditional film darkroom. To achieve this 
with a digital image I make a new instance of exposure and adjust the exposure 
slider (sometimes I deliberately overdo the adjustment and will return to it 
later). This adjustment moves the whole of the image's exposure, but then I use 
the drawn mask option which looks like a crayon. I then often use the add path 
option to very roughly select the area I want to apply the effect to. The 
transition will be harsh and obvious. To fix this problem I then move the 
feather radius and blurring radius sliders about a third of the way to the 
right (amount may vary between images). This feathering and blurring then 
creates an invisible transition. I return to the exposure slider and fine turn 
the strength of the effect.

Forget the blend mode options until you have mastered basic masking techniques.

Subject: Re: [darktable-user] Mask won't apply

The last image that needs a bit of tweaking is this one, because of the 2 very 
white stripes in the left bottom. I wanted to make that part a little less 
bright but I couldn't figure out how. The tone equalizer didn't help and the 
filmic module is too hard to understand for me. I copied and pasted both the 
image and the history so you get the context as well, for instance the 
inversion. (See attached file.)

Kind regards,

Thanks for the tips, I do work with scene referred RGB indeed. "Keep in

saved this image! Merci mille fois! Je t'embrasse tès fort et je te donne un

There are other images too though wich need a mask, but for several 
different reasons. So I'm still looking for learning to work with masks. I have 
until the end of this week - up until and including Thursday actually - for 
making these changes and entering my pix for a contest.

And yes, I see the yellow part. What about it? __

If you are using the scene-referred workflow, you could use the tone 
equaliser
for this (or perhaps adjust filmic).

As for the mask, did you visualise it ("circle in square" icon next to 
"mask
refinement) and did it show the area you wanted to mask (yellow) ?

I haven't seen a "mask" option in blendmode ever (that is, the last few
years). I found that I always have to check the date on any kind of 
tutorial,
as changes are rather fast (not only for darktable) .

Keep in mind that in your case, masking and reducing exposition can 
lead to
strange tone transitions at the edges. That's why I suggested tone

or filmic adjustments instead of masking.

Maybe there is only lens calibration data for the lens on a DX camera
and you are using a FX camera or the opposite. Also perhaps no
calibration for the lens on your camera brand

In my files I see this:
Tokina
Tokina AF 11-20mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX
Nikon F AF
Canon EF
1.534

This means only calibration data for Nikon and Canon DX bodies.

Yes, I was using a FX camera but I assumed that would not matter. 
Probably I was wrong.

I see the same entry in my lensfun file.

Thanks for all your valuable help

be a DT issue I would appreciate any hint how to solve my problem.
DT does not recognize my Tokina 11-20mm F2.8 IF DX lens and only shows
"lens 139" instead. I double-checked the lensfun database and found an
entry for this lens.  I also ran lensfun-update-data to upddate the
lensfun database.

As you are using a third-party lens, the information available to lensfun
might cover several lenses. As your lens is in the database, you can use the
drop-down menu in the lens correction module to manually select the lens, or
create a .exiv2 file in your home directory linking the lens ID to the lens
(look on the web for details on how to do that)

For some strange reason I don't see the lens in the drop-down menu.
So will have to figure out how .exiv2 file option works

If you are using the scene-referred workflow, you could use the tone equaliser 
for this (or perhaps adjust filmic).

As for the mask, did you visualise it ("circle in square" icon next to "mask 
refinement) and did it show the area you wanted to mask (yellow) ?

I haven't seen a "mask" option in blendmode ever (that is, the last few 
years). I found that I always have to check the date on any kind of tutorial, 
as changes are rather fast (not only for darktable) .

First we have to know what went wrong...
Keep in mind that in your case, masking and reducing exposition can lead to  
strange tone transitions at the edges. That's why I suggested tone equaliser 
or filmic adjustments instead of masking.

Here you can find some excellent videos on masking in DT

I found this tutorial that showed something about 'blend mode' and

What can I do to make this work?

[darktable-user] Tokina lens not detected

2022-02-07 Thread Ludger Bolmerg

Hi

I am on DT 3.8.0 on FreeBSD with lensfun 0.3.95. Although this may not 
be a DT issue I would appreciate any hint how to solve my problem.
DT does not recognize my Tokina 11-20mm F2.8 IF DX lens and only shows 
"lens 139" instead. I double-checked the lensfun database and found an 
entry for this lens.  I also ran lensfun-update-data to upddate the 
lensfun database.


Thanks,

[darktable-user] Mask won't apply

2022-02-07 Thread Hieke van Hoogdalem
Hi there,

I'm trying to apply masks. The idea is simple, but I can't get it working. I 
searched for YouTube tutorials, but they don't cover my problem. Also: my new 
M1 Macbook is malfunctioning and often stops internet all of a sudden without 
restarting properly. So my online resources are really small. Watching on my 
phone is an option, but the content doesn't cover my question, like I said.

 

So here's the situation. I have this image that I had to brighten up quite a 
bit, but now a small part is overexposed. I want to use a mask to bring that 
down. But… when I draw a mask and change the exposure, it's being applied to 
the complete image. (Yes, I did create a new instance in the expose module 
before I started to create the mask.)

 

I found this tutorial that showed something about 'blend mode' and telling that 
'normal' applies to the complete image. You have to chose 'mask'. But when I 
click on 'blend mode' I get a much larger list without the option 'mask'.

 

What can I do to make this work?
