Darktable Episode 40: How to deal with the contrasts in the darktable part one

[@Eigil_Skovgaard]

Your English and tone is very pleasant. It's easy to join and get wiser. This has convinced me about the power of Darktable, it's really a laboratory for raw editing - not just an editor.

[@emrg777]

Gald to hear you....Yor English is perfectly easy to understand.....great video as always...

[@elho001]

A big thumbs up for the return of voice commentary! 👍 Your processing has always been great and I especially appreciate your quick adoption and obvious understanding of new modules and scene referred workflow,, but in that period of silent videos it was hard to follow and understand the reasons behind e.g. choosing a certain module/blend mode combination over some potential other one in the given situation.

[@louismolino8674]

I am really enjoying your content with voice overs. You English is excellent. Thank You.

[@okay1904]

Amazing. There are so many ways to use darktable, Boris keeps on showing me new ways to use existing modules. This demonstration was amazing.

[@emmypuss4533]

Thanks Boris - Super. I've been going over some of your videos again and find them really helpful. 🇳🇿

[@danielspenner3683]

I enjoyed "editing Moments with darktable". I just love the new commented videos. Great value tutorials of creative use of the modern workflow for darktable. Thank you so much for the great Help!

[@sunteem369]

I’m so happy that you did a voice tutorial, Boris!! Thank you so much, it is so helpful!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@bernym4047]

An excellent treatise on dealing with very flat lighting to add depth and subtle contrast. Thanks . Your English is very good and quite satisfactory.

[@demarestk]

Thanks a lot for this video Boris. Your spoken explanation is really helpful, much easier to follow your train of thought than the subtitles you have used on your other videos. Keep 'em coming :)

[@shanesimpson2926]

This was really good to understand the cumulative effects of Darktable development, i.e. not pushing too hard with one module but establishing a base to refine with further modules. This is the bit that I struggle with.

[@s7habo]

@Shane This is a very good and important observation! Many fail because they expect to get quick results with a few sliders. This testifies to the fact that they have not yet learned to deal with the *composition of the image*. And this composition is actually the guiding principle for editing. Every time someone complains about the complexity of the darktable, it shows that they don't yet know what elements of composition (and how to combine them) constitute a good photo. Once you learn that, you appreciate the wide range of functionality that darktable offers to handle these elements to achieve good composition.

You have an really lovely voice and your English is great! Thank you for this video, I learned some new tricks :) I might need to invest some more time in the tone equalizer.

[@christianschroll6124]

Loved getting to hear your explanations for what you were doing and your English was easy to understand.

[@sanjeevvenkatesan3522]

Your Video's are so educational. Thank you so Much.

[@landercorleone3592]

Thank you Boris! You have helped a lot showing that you can edit very well with only a few modules 👍

[@luisarevalo6112]

I recently watched the newer modules posting be Aurelian and Bruce and your name was mentioned. Glad this one came up on the feed and I can say that this video was an eye-opener and adds so more to the recent to the recently watched ColorBalanceRgb/ColorCalibration videos! Thank you for taking the time to make your videos and the narrative is great!

[@bernym4047]

Watched a 2nd time and was still enthralled with your expert use of different techniques.I will now have a revisit to some of my older edits. Many thanks.

[@philsmith774]

The commentary is clear and very helpful and adds a lot of value

[@jamesrylandmiller4378]

(Your English is fantastic! Don't let anyone say otherwise.)

[@dragolionsx]

Merci Boris, vraiment pédagogique à souhait, et votre anglais me va très bien, pour moi petit français... top!!!

[@eimajtrebor]

Thanks for this video, Boris. This is really useful. You explain and demonstrate things really well. Much appreciated.

[@NewBobolix]

Great video Boris, really a very good base point where to start from, with scene referred quick developing!

[@Bizon-q2u]

Sorry for the spelling, but I don't know English. I use a translator:) I want to write that you have fantastic tutorials and I greatly admire your skills in using Darktable. I have a question. If I use a tone corrector for contrast, how should I sharpen the photo? What module should I use?

Very helpful video, Boris. Thank you very much!

[@gusfrei]

Thank you for this (and the other) great tutorial(s)!!!! :)

[@RamazanKamari]

Very helpful presentation.

[@nicolasmareau4008]

Very interesting ! Thanks a lot ! And no problem to understand your english.

[@BackDoorMann]

Thank you for your videos Boris! I am studying them ;) I have an off topic question: which operating system and window manager are you using?

[@s7habo]

Hi, Josema, I#m using Kubuntu Linux und KDE desktop.

[@vison360]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@abhishes]

amazing video!!!!!!

[@bernym4047]

I noted in the yellow flower image, the blue flowers have a richer colour after the colour calibration brightness adjustments. - Nice.

[@juricotchas]

His there were more buttons of "I like", everyone would touch them. You have very good taste to edit. I congratulate you !!!

[@s7habo]

@Julian, thank you for your kind words!

[@haiongolf]

Your English is very good Boris!

[@hirsebrei1944]

Thank you!

[@Rednunzio]

do you know if with intel-only gpu there is a way to do this (Intel WhiskeyLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics 620])?

[@davidwilson4179]

Great and informative video Boris. Your English is very proficient - it's a shame that you have kept it hidden for so long.

[@Bigjuergo]

can you pls explain the graph on the right top. do you look at this graph when adjusting your parameters? i think this graph is an indicator of the headroom in dynamic range.

[@s7habo]

Yes I do. Graph (which is called "waveform") I described in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emeyfKJtp9VmsLs from 23 minute.

[@ericballoux1219]

Merci pour cette vidéo beaucoup plus compréhensible même si mon anglais est limité la j’arrive a suivre

[@uzilevi73]

were can i get the photos you use in the video so i can follow alone with you?

[@s7habo]

I'm sorry Uzi don't offer my raw files from videos because, among other things, I don't think there's much to be gained by simply mimicking the process. Much better to take your own samples to practice the technique. If you need raw files and want to practice, you have at discuss.pixls.us/c/processing/playraw/30 some nice raw files available. There you can practice nicely and also present your own processing to the others.

[@uzilevi73]

@@s7habo thanks boris for the link. i am new to this and i think i can gain alot y mimicing you if you feel like giving me one or two of your photos :)

[@audytor111]

👍👍👍
