May I say that most of my effective Post processing is after the basic (but effective) Raw processing as made available for users of Canon Cameras. I do not like "Burned out" Highlights and that is where I normally attempt to control this during Post Processing using Photoshop. It is difficult to know what is expected to come up with from the (so called) deep Dive. If what you want (and I don't know what you want) is basically the JPG look, then darktable probably is vast overkill - It's designed for deep dives. I may change my opinion if (and when) I actually get at least a minor amount of experience in actual use of the program. So far, it makes me wonder if it is necessary or needed to have all the minute details for processing Raw Images. I have been reading the rather long Manual for Dark Table - so I have not even touched the actual usage of the program. Being open source software, darktable needs not follow the popular vote of customers, but can do its own thing for its own niche. Which is fascinating and refreshing for technical nerds such as myself, but others clearly have different preferences. For better or worse, darktable is committed to technical depth and deep parametrization. Nobody is forcing anybody to use darktable, thankfully. That said, I can completely understand if that's not to someone's liking. And you can learn about the inner workings of image editing software in a more structured manner than the "magic" single sliders in other programs. You can play with the algorithmic tradeoffs yourself, instead of relying on hidden automation. And indeed I miss them, occasionally, when not using darktable.Īdditionally, having all this detail available is simply interesting. After using darktable for a while, you will realize that there are occasionally situations where these sliders do come in handy. However, the thing is, all of these details exist in other software as well, but hidden, or automated. And in day-to-day usage, darktable is no different: you only use a tiny subset of what is available. Lightroom et al prove that a rather smaller number of sliders is sufficient for most people and most images. ![]()
