This Version naming would be very useful to me. I often have several versions of a file and remembering which is which is near impossible. On 09/05/2018 10:58 AM, Jarkko Toivonen wrote: > Hi, > > Yes, I know about the "create unique filename" setting. I want to > export the images with the same

Hello all, I would like to add the version number to the exported image file name with prefix "_" but only if the version is bigger than 0. For example export image with file name "Image.jpg" if the version is 0 and "Image_1.jpg" if the version is 1. The two images are exported from the same

Hi, Yes, I know about the "create unique filename" setting. I want to export the images with the same name always, overwriting the old export if it has been done earlier. In that kind of scenario the $(VERSION) number would be nice to be added to the target storage path because I don't want

Hi Jack, Could you provide a link to som sort of comparison? That would be very nice. If you are on facebook, there is a group for darktable users that could be used. I do not have problems with sharpness, defaults appears to work quite well for me, I sometimes use a highpass preset I

Jack, I don't know if it's the correct/usual work flow, but I never sharpen in DT, because I don't know yet the destination of the image. So I save the image full size without sharpening. If am scaling the image for the web, or using all/some pixels in a large/small print, it will need a

First, I'm a freelance photographer and over twenty years a user of many different pieces of software for editing images on Windows, Mac and Linux computers. Normal, pleasant looking sharpening was never an issue, but somehow I can't get nice looking sharpening in DT. I compared an image on my

[darktable-user] mis-identified lens correction

2018-09-05 Thread William Ferguson
I've written a script, correct_lens.lua, to provide a means to non destructively correct the lens information used by darktable. In the past if your camera didn't correctly identify your lens then the only way to correct it was to use exiftool to modify the image file and rewrite the lens

No comparisons, I never saved those images. I was just curious about how others find the sharpening results and their way of doing it. Thanks for pointing out there is a Facebook group! Op 05-09-18 om 09:32 schreef Anders Lund: Hi Jack, Could you provide a link to som sort of comparison?

Gimp is an option, but not when using DT as the tool to edit, manage and exports lots of images. But I do use Gimp from time to time to adjust brightness and shadows using the dodge and burn tool, which makes working with images much more intuitive than the slow and rather 'technical' way of

I'm not insulted easily ;) and please call me stupid when I forget some important part of a tool, and thanks for the opacity option. Never really thought of that because I assume(d) that this has the same effect as adding less or more sharpening ussing the 'amount' slider. Op 05-09-18 om
