How to change the colour of anything in darktable

[@NickInHell666]

Awesome. Thanks for your tutorials. I can't believe more people don't use darktable, although it is hard to find good tutorials. Yours are awesome and thanks again for keeping them short sweet and simple. You Rock!

No worries Nick. Thanks for your feedback. Lightroom is dominant in this market but so was Premiere and it is now loosing that position. Cheers

Hi Stefano I'm thinking that to remove the tail lights from the path drawn around the car, if you create additional paths around them, go into the Mask Manager , right click on the tail light paths and click on "exclusion", you'll be able to separate the tail lights from the car. Haven't actually tried it, but I suspect the Mask Manager will get you the result you're looking for.

Thanks Tom, I will give a try. I do remember looking into it but I could not find anything, only operations related to the shape but no exclusion/inclusion. Cheers

Thank you Stefano. I am becoming used to Color Zones module but I still didn't know what was hue for. I gonna try in some photos to fix how to use the tool. Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Not so hot today but hot enough to swim and avoid sun exposition.

So happy I was able to help. Enjoy Brasil, an amazing country!!

It is -39C here in Manitoba Canada and thanks for the informative video I am a beginner in Darktable

[@StefanoFerro]

Welcome! Geeee...considering yesterday it was +41C here in Melbourne...it's an 80C difference :o

[@accolon24]

[@StefanoFerro]

Thanks 👍🙏🙏

Grazie! Fa freddo a Roma!

[@StefanoFerro]

Prego. Roma e' sempre bellissima, non importa con che tempo :) Ho vissuto li per 3 anni. Stupenda!

Complimenti per questi video!!! prima ero indeciso ma ora sono convintissimo di passare a Darktable!!! avrei una domanda che solo uno esperto come te puoi risolvere, è una sfida, eliminare il riflesso sugli occhiali con Darktable!!!

[@StefanoFerro]

Grazie mille 🙏🙏 dovrei fare dei test. Lavorerei sui highlights. Purtroppo sono in viaggio e non ho la possibilità di fare delle prove. Mi dispiace 😥

[@shutterrecoil]

how about gray color? it just doesn't work.

[@adampierce9533]

I really like selecting by color using the dropper. What if the color I want to change into is white (vs. merely another hue)?

[@StefanoFerro]

Great question. White is not a colour as such I would have to make a few tests, but I am on a trip without PC. I will let you know. Cheers

[@shutterrecoil]

yep. same issue. i need to recolor black text - nothing changes same result with color balance module

[@cosmo0080]

hi, when you finished drawing the mask how did you close it temp here about -15c

[@StefanoFerro]

You click the left button on the mouse on the last point, than right click to close the shape. Cheers

[@cosmo0080]

@@StefanoFerro just tried works thanks

[@tozguitar]

Great vid. I'm having difficulty changing a white object to different colours. Is that possible?

[@StefanoFerro]

Thanks!! I would probably use the colorize module for the white

[@sr.liamthegreat6461]

Hi. I just started using darktable after lightroom became out of my price budget. I am loving your videos and really relying on them to help me with this stuff because it is REALLY confusing. My question is how do you change the color to black, or even gray. I don't see it anywhere. Thanks in advance :)

[@sr.liamthegreat6461]

I think I found it actually

[@StefanoFerro]

Awesome👍👍👍
