How to BLUR the BACKGROUND in darktable 4.8

[@bernym4047]

brilliant.

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you!

[@DarktableLandscapes]

Awesome! If only we could do negative blur to make things sharper :D

[@RicoResolves]

Have you tried the diffuse and sharpen module?

[@DarktableLandscapes]

@@RicoResolves absolutely, I use it for pretty much every image! But I think it would have trouble with the level of blur you're adding here right?

[@RicoResolves]

@DarktableLandscapes yeah I don't think it would be the best solution to this effect.

Darktable is a very powerful program. But I have not found any videos on how to use darktable for focus stacking image. If you can do it, it would be very interesting to watch such a video.

[@RicoResolves]

Let me see what I can do!

i was wondering who that goof looking fella was that you for the video

[@RicoResolves]

Haha yes it is! Glad to see you here again Cosmo!

[@wahabdilawar]

Is it a paid software or free?

[@RicoResolves]

Free!

Of the 3 free raw convertors that I used and like, Darktable is probably the best. I also used/have used Lightzone (basic but very good) and RawTherapee (powerful but more difficult to use).

I can see why you'd rather use an ai tool. The result is really sloppy.

Canva is great for this!
