Hi There ! Just a word to mention the DarkTable LUA script "External Editor" which is reported to allow image editing in whatever external editors you 've got in your PC. After the script enabled, you just have to set the location(s) of the .exe file of the editor(s) in the LUA folder of DT settings. Cheers and Happy New Year !

Hi Andy, thanks for this great video explaining what Adobe is doing behind the scenes. I came across something similar a while ago (which didn’t explain in anywhere near as much detail as you did about what and why things were happening) and I’d appreciate your view on how I’m getting around Adobe’s auto applied default settings versus your PV Swap alternative. I’ve used the DNG Profile Edit utility to create my own ‘Linear Profile’ (to remove all the Adobe starting values that we don’t want) and placed it in the same folder as Adobe keeps its own profiles. That means when I open an image in LR I can choose my Linear Profile from the profile drop down list without having to add a (PV Swap) preset. After watching your video I created the PV Swap preset and then tried both options alongside each other; both look, to the naked eye at least, identical as starting points. However, the advantage I see of using the Linear Profile method is that all my Tone settings etc are at zero so I have the full range of adjustments available to me on every slider in each Develop section. I’m really interested to know if there are there any advantages of using your PV Swap method that I’m missing here?
@AndyAstbury5 күн бұрын
Hi Terry, sometimes I can see a marked difference between a PVSwap and using a linear profile, especially when there is a big difference in ISO and exposure bias between the profile source raw/dng and the target image. The difference usually manifests itself as a slight drop in exposure and perhaps a tiny drop in colour saturation. My main Lr catalogue contains images from pretty much 50 different sensors - that would be a hell of a lot of linear profiles to manage, let alone create. A straight PVSwap is something of a one-size-fits-all preset that can be applied to any sensor raw file to give a neutral-ish starting point. This is because it uses the Adobe Standard profile. Yes, it's a little more generalist than a sensor=specific linear profile, but it's easier to work with when dealing with multiple sensors in a single catalogue - that's my PoV anyway!
@TerryR525 күн бұрын
@@AndyAstbury Thanks for explaining that Andy. I'm in the fortunate, or unfortunate position depending on your PoV lol, of only having one camera, so I can absolutely see your point regarding the PV Swap being a perfect generalist way to remove Adobe's default settings if you're in the lucky state of having multiple cameras.

Hi Luis, as I said in another reply, I've tried C1 many times over the years. I had to use it sometimes (back in the day when it was still in the hands of PhaseOne) because it was the only way of handling PhaseOne raw files. I must add that back then, I got it for free because I was using the gear. Today though, it's just another editor I'd have to learn inside out, and frankly there are not enough days in the week for me to that! The many faults in Lightroom, frankly, I can correct/remove on the rasterized image inside Photoshop, because that's where my longest experience is. So the Lr faults are a pain the butt, but easily corrected - FOR ME. But not everyone has that knowledge, and I'm just hoping that someone, somewhere, will send a link to this video to the Lr devs - but I'm not holding my breath! The other point I was trying to make is that you can avoid the problems by using FREE stuff. And C1 isn't free, and it's not good for me without Photoshop. So C1 + Photoshop would cost more.

Well put Santa. One of the things Darktable should get from RawTherapee/Art is the pre-sharpening. It is very good, and it should be easy to transplant. Another problem with DT is the poor denoising, and when using DxO PureRAW 4 up front with denoising, the demosaicing becomes the one from DxO, and the AI-denoising further enhances high frequency details. In some cases the white edges ends up as bad as with Lightroom/ACR. The only way to compensate is with the two sliders Luminance and Force details. Maybe you could elaborate on the pixel peeping effects of DxO PureRAW 4's denoising - one day, Andy?

Eigil - matey, how are you doing!!! Totally agree about the need to 'port' the capture sharpening into Darktable - but I would 'port' ART CS and not RT's, because of where it's located. You can't add capture sharpening in RT to a linear DNG from DXO etc because CS in RT is under the demosaic tab. In ART it's under the details tab. Denoising in DT/ART/RT is not the same technology as Ai Denoise in Lr/DXO PR4 or God forbid, Topaz. I doubt comparable tech will ever come to the three FOSS editors, simply because of the time and money obtaining the huge database of samples required.

Interesting and thanks for bringing this up. I'll be taking a detailed look at this and although I'm not a LR user I do use ACR for my RAW conversion. Here's something to consider... Are you seeing this issue (to the same extent) with images shot against different backgrounds ie not blue sky?
@AndyAstbury12 күн бұрын
ACR/Lightroom/Lightroom Mobile and Lightroom Classic all use the same demosaicing algorithm, so you will see it if you look hard enough. The edge boundaries that show the fault worst of all are either: Smooth sharp edges and curves that delineate complimentary colours (yellow eagle beak against blue sky) or, high contrast edges between high frequency and low frequency detail - such as tree branches or cliff edges and a flat sky. So, the fault can show up in landscapes as well as birds in flight shots, and potentially any style of shot in between. But the edges have to smooth and sharp; you will not see them on edges of furry animals for instance. Couple of things I need to add. 1. you can mitigate them in part by selecting Enhance Details and unchecking the denoise element if you don't need it - but that doesn't remove them totally. 2. since switching to a 45Mp mirrorless Z9, I see a lot less of them. I don't know why this is, because I used to see them on D850 shots. Someone sent me a Z9 file a few weeks ago where there was one big long halo on the underside of a long-billed birds beak. In all fairness, the halos will not impinge on the average user, because their average output involves some sort of shrinkage. But full resolution jpegs with these faults will get rejected by QC at any stock agency such as Getty/iStock - and Adobe Stock; there's irony for you!

I have noticed it a little in some Red Kite images from a few years ago, pale blue sky, bird twisting and diving. I'll have to dig out some WTEs and have a look but I can probably count on one hand the number of trips where birds are against a blue sky from 14 years of photographing those birds on Mull 😂 I did check a nicely lit WTE with fish with hills background and that looked clear but more than anything it's something you've brought to my attention which I am very grateful for.
@freetibet100013 күн бұрын
I noticed this phenomenon already 10 years ago and found a solution in using Capture One instead. The blocky-ness and harsh transitions in LR actually sets you off on a very destructive path right at the beginning. This is especially problematic if we want to print large. Some of the problems seems to come from the profile curves automatically applied to the raw file in LR. The only way to somewhat reduce these artefacts is to remove these profile curves or set it to Linear curve. But it won’t eliminate the problem entirely. As you said, the demosaic algorithms in LR is inherently inferior to other softwares. As such it is not a professional tool. It will reduce the advantages of shooting raw since it doesn’t give us all the tonalities that is stored in the raw file but produces an inferior “opinion” of your raw file due to inferior algorithms. The workaround is to use DXO or Topaz as a first step, as you pointed out. A potential problem with that approach is that you will be forced to rely on a DNG in the second step and that algorithm is also developed by Adobe! My approach have been to avoid Adobe completely by entirely using Capture One and if I felt I needed some extra pixel work to be done I sent the image into Affinity Photo for the last bit of tweaking. The key here is to preserve as much original tonality as possible before we “bake” the pixels into a 16bit tiff file. It is vital to understand that any work on contrasts will change the tonality, either compress or stretch the transitions between tones. That includes any type of sharpening as well. Because of this you are absolutely right about the detrimental effects white lines and halos around edges from the beginning has on the final output. If it’s there from the beginning, it will only get worse for every step in the editing process! That’s why your observation is of such importance and we need to think twice before we decide to rely on software that produces such obvious defects. DXO and Topaz can often be necessary since they are excellent for noice reduction as well. I prefer DXO because of its excellent optical profiles and less obvious Ai involvement. But Topaz can be the better choice in certain cases. No two images are the same and for that reason we have software with different approaches and strengths for different purposes. But never do I feel I miss out by not having Lightroom or Photoshop installed on my computer!
@AndyAstbury12 күн бұрын
I think C1 has the best 'one size fits all' demoz algo, and DXO is not quite as good. Personally, I've never managed to get into C1 myself, and when I switched to Mac from PC, I was so enamoured with Apple Aperture, that everything else fell by the wayside for a while! Adobe Bridge was always my fave DAM software, and of course, Photoshop has always been king in my book; so when Aperture was dropped, Lightrooms first incarnations were the most straight forward answer. But in this day, I just can not fathom how demosaicing can be better in FOSS editors than the worlds most popular raw editor - to me, it beggars belief. But it will cost Adobe money to fix it, and if no one complains about it, it never will be fixed.

@@AndyAstbury Yes, I also belong to those that started out with Apples Aperture. I remember I was very fond of it and was so surprised when Apple decided to discontinue the product. In those days Lightroom was the obvious replacement but no matter how I really wanted it to work for me it never clicked between us. Today I know why, -it just doesn’t do the raw files justice like Aperture did and Capture One does today. I’m sure there are a number of other raw converters that can do the same fine job today. I know from experience that with DXO PhotoLab I can reach excellent results as well. But the way Capture One let me set up the workspace exactly the way I want, spread out over two monitors, and with the ability to build up my editing across several dedicated layers with individual layers masks is a godsend for me. I only wish it had a better noise reduction. I thank you for your insight into these matters and I’m so surprised that so many that call themselves professionals use Lightroom.

It's not a surprise to me! It's called Adsense Revenue - forgive my cynicism! Ken Wheeler (before he started playing with super magnets!) used to use the saying "The Truth is NEVER Popular, and the POPULAR is rarely TRUE"....or something to that effect. Lightroom is the most popular raw software out there - fact. There are many dodges and wheezes in Lr that can improve it's overall image quality. But you can NOT remove the demosaicing faults within Lightroom itself. To demonstrate this, as I have, means that it's the TRUTH - hence it's going to be unpopular. To run an Adobe based YT channel, any 'bad truth' most be hushed up, swept under the carpet, and never mentioned; otherwise they will fall out of favour and lose revenue! And that is not more cynicism, it's the truth - which again, by definition, is going to be unpopular. See, we're going around in circles!!!
@freetibet100012 күн бұрын
@ Yes, it is obvious that some of those channels on YT that promotes Adobe products have a much larger following than others. I think Adobe was a well known software company long before they ventured into the market of raw conversion and DAM management and therefor managed to cut out a large potion of the market already at the launch of Lightroom. If I remember correctly it was only Apples Aperture that stood a chance against Lightroom in those days. Unfortunately, Apple decided not to pursue the development for very long and handed over the market to Adobe to do whatever they wanted with it. I believe that made Adobe lazy and Lightroom did very small improvements for a long time. We saw the same thing happening with Adobe InDesign and Illustrator after they had managed to outmanoeuvre the competition and almost completely stalled further developments for a few years until competition picked up and they were forced into a much more active development phase again. At the core, all these Adobe products rests on old code and hangovers from the golden years. Now they’re trying to look young and hip again with the introduction of gimmicky Ai additions to their old costume. It mostly looks like an attempt to pretend that the Christmas tree can stay in the house for an additional week if we overload it with twice as much decorations to cover up all the dead parts that is threatening to ruin the whole spectacle soon anyway. Today we have so many other excellent choices and do not need any of the Adobe products, I think. Personally, I’m very grateful for all the development teams out there that have contributed towards the verity we have today. The Adobe hegemony is broken, once and for all. That’s a good thing! I think the main reason people stick with Lightroom, despite the fact it’s far from the premium package some would like it to be, is the extensive catalogs folks have built over the years around their Lightroom workflow along with the long established muscles memory habits. Those are powerful enough motivations for not switching to another workflow unless forced to. I sure am happy I’m not stuck in that rut anyway!

Be interesting to see how Rawtherapee and others handle such files not just in terms of artifacts but also if they can control pre sharpening halo's as you demonstrate here.

To both; that artifact is called 'mazing' and can be negated by the AMAZE demosaicing algorithm.

RCD (ratio corrected demosaicing) is a little gentler than AMAZE, and the best for low frequency detail areas is is VNG, or it's modern faster alternate called BILINEAR. The beauty of RT/ART and DT to a point, is that you can use combos of say RCD+Bilinear(my fave default) and you can vary the cross over between the two with a slider!

@AndyAstbury22 күн бұрын
Hi, with some sensors, such as the Z9, Camera Neutral makes some drastic saturation changes. If you opt for Camera Flat, it removes more contrast, but tends to leave the darker shadows where they are - in other words, it's not quite 'global'. Neutral and Flat are Adobe interpretations of the OEM picture control settings, and they exist as .dcp profiles of a sub folder inside Camera Raw. As I've shown in many RT and ART videos, these .dcp profiles work well in those FOSS apps. But in Lr/ACR, lately, their deployment can yield unexpected results very different from what they yield in ART/RT. Lightroom/ACR interpretation has changed a bit for certain sensors - I don't know why! But the Adobe Standard profile selection happens automatically when you do a process version swap, and it gives good global consistency across all camera sensors. So make an Adobe Standard PVS, then make another switched to Camera Neutral, and a third with Camera Flat. Set Lightroom default to the Adobe Standard variant, than you have the other two to change to if you like them better. In short, as of this date, this variant works consistently on all cameras, but Neutral and Flat are more sensor-specific and don't always yield the same level of consistency. Cheers, and have a Good One!

If you don't delete it, Darktable will try to reapply it and instantly crash again; sometimes it won't appear to even start. ART is very good at doing this too!

All a profile does is match the sensor colour response, using a LUT or look up table. If you use a profile that does NOT match your sensor, you WILL NOT 'break' anything! All you will do is change the 'look' of the image - and you are going to do that anyway with your processing adjustments. Mismatching profiles just changes the STARTING appearance of your image.
