Bruce, you saved me from a lot of editing pains with this tutorial. I've been binge watching your channel and you are one heck of an instructor. Thanks.

Thanks Hursha! 😃

Are you sure that the tone curve, lab independent channels module in the blue yellow tab chooses pixels based on lightness? It looks like it allows you to affect the pixels that are the yellowest on input at the right and the blue ones at the left side.

[@audio2u]

No, what you've suggested sounds right. I may have accidentally misspoken. Will have to check. Thanks for the heads up!

@@audio2u around 08:40. Thanks for all the awesome videos!

That is basically White Balance then!!! In my camera you choose blue/yellow and green/magenta for white point. Kelvin is for one axis only (blue/yellow), so that is not the true white balance!!! I'd always use (got no Darktable yet, mouthwatering looking at your presentations :) ) that LAB tone then - choosing white balance for every luminosity is so much more versatile!!!!

Do you, by any chance, know if there is global masking feature - kind of a mask you could attach many effects and modules to?? In Davinci Resolve we have this node based system where the mask is shared, I'd suggest the same to Darktable! This way we can perform more than one manipulations on the same selection/inverted selection at once.

[@audio2u]

This feature already exists, but not quite in the same implementation as you're used to. Over on the left hand side of the darkroom, you'll find a module called "mask manager". From here, you can re-use any mask you've created in any other module.

@@audio2u Wow! I see. Thanks!

No dramas! 😃

Hi, Bruce congratulations for your job. Sorry for my english, I´m from Spain and I follow your videos about darktable. I want to ask you if will be possible add subtitles in spanish like a few them. That would facilitate learning for those of us who follow you from here. Thank´s, and well done!
