darktable ep 054 - A summary of darktable 3.0 new features (pt 1 of 2)

[@BillBlurton]

Thanks Bruce for your tutorials. As a new user of Darketable I am finding it a steep learning curve. Your videos are helping immensely. Hope you had a great Holiday time.

[@audio2u]

Thanks Bill!

[@petergulliver3225]

Quick but a good overview. Looking forward to more videos on DT 3.0. Thankyou Bruce, and a Merry Christmas.

[@audio2u]

And to you too, Peter! 🎄

[@lasithasenaratne5689]

Thank you Bruce for the wonderful series of videos on darktable. I'm new to image processing in general and darktable in particular, and was feeling lost when I first started using the program. Your videos have really helped me get started. Merry Christmas!

[@audio2u]

Thanks! And Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@ldj00]

Merry Christmas, Bruce, and thanks for all your work promoting darktable! Well done! And Merry Christmas also to all of the viewers out there!

[@audio2u]

Thanks Lowell! And Merry Christmas to you also! 🎄

[@yaqxs]

Thanks a lot, not just for this but for all your videos, you do a great job of getting us to understand darktable. Happy Christmas and a happy new year. Side question: Ever tried a video about infrared photography and darktable? It's I think so much easier than Lightroom and Photoshop, because you don't need an extra color profile and you can switch color channels directly (With Adobe you can't do that in lightroom, you have to do it in Photoshop)

[@audio2u]

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄 No, never done infrared photography. Would not know the first thing about it! 😃

[@krankydai5292]

Hi Bruce, thank you for doing the video on darktable v3, as usual you’ve done a great job and I’m looking forward to the other module explanations. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

[@audio2u]

For a start, I made the video using rc2, which I knew would be very close to the final release. But yeah, at this stage, it will be quicker to install from the source code than to wait for the various repositories to update it.

[@audio2u]

Thanks, and Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@DenisThibeault_inci]

A good description of the new features Bruce - well done as always. Thank you very much. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.

[@audio2u]

Thanks Denis! Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@marcossaraiva4245]

thanks for the overview! Merry Christmas!

[@audio2u]

Thanks, and same to you! 🎄

[@Ronbo765]

Hi Bruce. I'm not clear on the new Denoise Profiled module. The module still has modes called "Wavelets" and "Non-Local Means". Based on my comparisons, they have very different effects - requiring two instances to fully reduce noise. What do they mean, then, that only one module need be used? Also, the "auto" modes don't seem to do much, beyond what the non-auto modes do. What's your take?

[@audio2u]

Haven't had a chance to look at the revised version of the module, but I will be doing a video on it in due course. My understanding is that we no longer need to do the 2 passes trick from days of yore. It now should work much better with a single instance. But like I said, I've yet to put it through its paces.

[@Ronbo765]

Bruce Williams Photography I couldn’t, for the life of me, figure out how only 1 instance of Denise (Prof) would be sufficient. Possibly with the wavelets mode as it has a big effect. I wish they would put out the manual, soon.

[@audio2u]

Yeah, I second that!

[@mariners_platter]

Happy holidays, and looking forward to learning more. Thank you!

[@audio2u]

Thanks Simon!

[@davidknowles5519]

Thanks Bruce Happy Christmas thanks for your help as always

[@audio2u]

No worries! And Merry Christmas from Down Under! 🎄

[@folmonty]

Always enlightening and informative - thank you Bruce!

[@audio2u]

Thanks! 😃

[@Raveron]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year thank you very much for this looking forward to future videos on 3.0

[@audio2u]

Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you also! 🎄

[@supermarkomarkomarko]

Bruce at 13:22 you are saying that, because of REC2020, we should disable sharpen module. What is alternative to that module, because there is a difference with that module set to 2? Thank you

[@audio2u]

Oh, you've stumped me there. Not sure. Unfortunately, it's Christmas Day here and I have a house full of visiting family. Won't be able to research an answer for you today. Sorry about that. Gleefully, someone else might be able chime in. Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@wido123123]

You can use the equalier (with slight bump in the middle) or highpass (with blend softlight or overlay) modules to sharpen an image

[@supermarkomarkomarko]

@@audio2u Haha, ok, next time then :-) Merry Christmas

[@supermarkomarkomarko]

@@wido123123 Thank you. After your advice I tried both and Highpass with softlight is better option.

[@audio2u]

Seriously phone? You honestly thought I wanted "gleefully"? Presumably by now, you all knew I was trying to say "hopefully"!

[@AkiraFurball]

Still cannot use the export to google nor any other web service, error for google saying not approved yet, facebook error not secure.. Anyone know ho to get these services working as it is the one thing I have not yet been able to use on any DT version! I am using 3.1.0~git184.ca72e40ce

[@audio2u]

Yeah, same here, Louise. I've never had any of them work either. I always export to a local folder, and upload manually. My guess is that someone started work on it a long time ago, and has not maintained the feature.

[@AkiraFurball]

@@audio2u Its really quite annoying, the lack of functionality of the exporters is the only thing that lets it down compared to lightroom extortionware :(

[@audio2u]

While I understand your frustration, I'm guessing that it's not a feature many people are using. Otherwise, it would have been fixed by now. It would be nice if it worked though!

[@wido123123]

Wow, how many cool features! first thing first, the link in hte description has changd from the branch into master (and is no longer working). Regarding 3d lut, you know that Darktable has been able to do LUT transformation for a while, but this is to export/import luts in some 'standard' format (cube is the lightroom format). The denoise looks soooo promesing! and the "basic adjustment" will be great for new users to start digging into DT, I think. And I'm sure I'm gonna love the tone mapping, but I wonder if it's going to be possible to adjst how many zones you can have. Thanks for the review, Bruce!

[@audio2u]

Thanks for that. I'll get the link updated when I can, but it won't be today. Got a house full of family! Cheers.

[@raphaelkrupinski7572]

Couldn't find episode about contrast equaliser module. Is it new?

[@audio2u]

Contrast equalizer is new in dt3.0, but there is no episode for it yet.

[@CTRL_SMarcos]

Thanks for the review and for all the videos. Have an excellent year !

[@audio2u]

Thanks. And the same to you! 😃

[@DigiDio]

Nice summary on DT 3, Merry Christmasand the best 2020

[@audio2u]

Thanks Digi, and to you too! 🎄

[@mangwolf]

Merry Xmas Bruce, your channel is amazing, youre the best

[@audio2u]

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you! 🎄

[@leona_devon]

Thank you Bruce, Very Merry Christmas to you and family x

[@audio2u]

And to you, Leona! 🎄

[@dmytromalevskyi400]

The video quality is so much more pleasing to watch!

[@audio2u]

Thanks!

[@tulenik71]

Still no DCP support or color calibration targets built-in support?

[@audio2u]

I guess not.

[@tulenik71]

And I would bet one year after nVidia's unlocking 10bit capability still no 10bit output :D (I did some tests in last days, from all free graphic applications only Krita is true 10bit).

[@alphabeta448]

thank you so much Bruce, your effort is priceless

[@audio2u]

Thanks!

[@newtalentnyc]

Awesome Christmas gift! Thank you for the overview! Happy Holidays to you!

[@audio2u]

Thanks John! Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@photomoods-mariobolz8801]

Hello Bruce, what are you doing ? That's so much information, I have to watch the video at least 5 times.laugh. Thank you and merry Christmas ! Greats Marioooooooooo

[@audio2u]

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@pushinlinux]

Hi Bruce, Since we can get DT 3.0 from github, is it worthwhile to also compile lua scripts at this time? Merry Christmas to you and your family, thanks for your wonderful body of work describing this fabulous piece of Open Source Software, for our benefit.

[@audio2u]

Thanks Andrew! Not sure about LUA scripts.... Not something I've ever got into. Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@sivakan5873]

I'm a good boy. after watch all your videos , today I downloaded Darktable. moving from lIghtroom ver.6. you have a Merry Christmas. thank you for your videos

[@audio2u]

Thanks. Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@senor8750]

How did you install darktable 3.0 on linux mint? I have mint 19.3 and I can't do it.

[@audio2u]

I installed from source code. Go to darktable.org/install and scroll down towards the bottom of the page. Instructions for installing from github are there.

[@senor8750]

Bruce Williams Photography Thank you. I’m trying to install darktable from source, but I haven’t LVM 3.9+ and can’t find it. Also have another little trouble.

[@carlogregori1967]

Thaks for your tutorials and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Italy.

[@audio2u]

Thanks Carlo! And to you! 🎄

[@Webpromotions]

Thanks Bruce. Loving your series, it has helped me immensely....

[@audio2u]

Thanks!

[@archiebrown692003]

Perhaps someone should have told Google about the updated export to Google Photos . All I get is this "Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app" "This app has not yet been verified by Google in order to use Google Sign in."

[@audio2u]

Interesting. 😥

[@RicoResolves]

Nice overview Bruce. Well done.

[@audio2u]

Thanks Rico! Merry Christmas, mate! 🎄

[@RicoResolves]

@@audio2u You too!

[@amplituhedron5582]

Merry Christmas Bruce!

[@audio2u]

Thanks! And the same to you! 🎄

[@photomaster1]

Merry Christmas and thank you for this...

[@audio2u]

No worries! And Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@blackopenpeerwolf]

would you be so kind to explain how you installed it? Thank you

[@Foche_T._Schitt]

On linux? Go to the darktable website. On the install page look for "Current release from source" I don't know how long it will take for repositories to offer the latest version but it can be easier to wait.

[@mariners_platter]

are people uninstalling old version before installing 3.0? is that what they recommend?

[@audio2u]

I did uninstall 2.6, but only because I am going to use the dev version going forward. Although, I will probably install the official release of 3.0 when the Linux Mint repository gets updated.

[@drone360productions7]

You can just install 3.0 if you want. It will then ask you at the start of install something like - "you already have darktable installed. Would you like to uninstall the previous version?" if you click yes, it will install the old version and then install the new version.

[@sbarronmd]

want to learn darktable and will load new version. where should i start? your first video?

[@audio2u]

Definitely. Even though the series started on 2.4, a lot of the fundamentals still apply.

[@emrg777]

Ha so funny that you show the 3.01 ....I just noticed many of those reported addtions are in already in the master branch.....3.0 for a day and now were really at 3.01 ha ha......

[@audio2u]

Hey, ya gotta love an active dev team! 😃

[@wulfreusch4525]

Thank you very much!!

[@audio2u]

No dramas!

[@martinpronk1722]

Fine days and good new start in 2020. Then I start with version 3.0

[@cosmo0080]

better not to worry about speed rather focus on clarity and accuracy Merry Christmas and God bless u and your family

[@audio2u]

Thanks Cosmo. Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@joaovtaveira]

Mery Christmas to all!

[@audio2u]

Back at ya, mate! 🎄

[@nicolasauffray8737]

@Bruce Williams Photography : Glad to see a video based on article I cowrited with some people. Simple and good reading of my article with the benefit of videos manipulations. The link you posted is not more avalaible (it was the Git branch to be published on darktable.org website). The article is now published here: www.darktable.org/2019/12/darktable-30/ The home page have also been updated (icon and new capture screen based on 3.0 of course). Good work. And I quite agree with you for what you said about change module order. That's why this big statement is on the article. It's a big and good feature only for really advanced users of darktable. Changing order of course really need to know what we do with that. Nilvus

[@audio2u]

Thanks for the updated link, Nilvus!

[@TechnikMeister2]

I upgraded before I really got into it, having just come back to photography. First, being a Mac user we do not have an Alt button. Whats the equivalent? Second, a friend showed me Photolemur and then Luminar which use AI to get rid of all these time consuming steps. I was blown away. Can you do that in Darktable? He went from a raw file to one that he honestly said he could not improve in 30 seconds. Surely thats the way to go.

[@audio2u]

The Mac equivalent of alt is the option button.

[@europlatus]

If you want AI to do everything for you, then you should use software that does that. Darktable won't be for you. It provides much greater control over the finished product.

[@ByronScottJones]

Your github link is not working.

[@audio2u]

Oh yes, I need to change that. Thanks.
