Hey Rico ! Just wanted to let you know that your channel is an absolute gold mine when it comes to darktable. I'm learning a lot from you as an aspiring photographer (hobbyist) so thanks for all the effort you put out in producing those gems man ! Cheers

[@PurpleWhirple]

Good lesson, thank you. I finally came to the end of the road with my old Photoshop and Lightroom non subscription versions when I changed computers this week. I hate the Adobe subscription model, it's expensive and it doesn't suit my needs any more (I'm an ex professional photographer, still like taking pics but I'm not going to pay Adobe prices). I was worried about managing and processing RAW files without Lightroom, but Darktable looks really good and not too daunting to learn. I'm now using Affinity and Darktable, both excellent programs, one free and one extremely reasonably priced. Thanks to all the people that put Darktable together and continue to improve it, you are doing a brilliant job.

[@RicoResolves]

Much appreciated man, I'm glad my content still helps people!

[@freecycling6687]

Terrific video, thanks! Just one suggestion - I found that the music, with its very clear drum beat in places, was a distraction to what you were saying. Maybe use more "non-descript" type music, or even go a capella!

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind for future tutorials. I appreciate the feedback!

Hallo Rico, Wederom dank voor deze uitleg, top! 2 vraagjes: * Bij mij staat, als ik een raw-foto importeer, de "history stack" al gevuld met een 8-tal items. Deze kan ik ook niet verwijderen. Enig idee wat hieraan te doen of waardoor dit komt? * De 'groups' aan de rechterzijde zijn anders van inhoud dan bij jou ... moet ik deze nog zelf vullen? Dank alvast voor de reactie & keep up the good work!

[@RicoResolves]

Goede vragen! De history stack kan je niet (meer) volledig ongedaan maken. Wel kan je op orientation staan en dan op "compress history stack" drukken zodat je begint zonder base curve. De inhoud rechts kan anders zijn omdat je andere modules in je favorites hebt. Als je in de group menus kijkt dat vindt je meer modules terug. Dit kan je ook doen door rechtsonderin op: "more modules" te klikken. Daar vind je meer modules.

[@RicoResolves]

Hello Corey, as the raw or jpg? Cause after your edit the picture will obviously look different. Try setting the output module on SRGB or change it in the light table menu under the export settings.

[@BenkArtist]

Hey Rico, thanks for your videos. I'm just getting started with darktable and its a huge help to see it used before jumping in. One thing that's bugging me is that in my copy of Darktable (2.6.2) all the interface elements are really large. This includes interface text, images/icons, modules, the entire top bar including the Darktable logo. It makes everything feel bloated. One good example of this is the text "lighttable | darkroom | other". On your screen that all fits neatly within the space of the right column, but on my screen the text is so large that "lighttable" is in the middle section. (I hope that makes sense) My theories why it looks so much better on your screen are 1) my screen size is 15" perhaps on larger screens the text size is the same so it takes up a smaller percentage of space, 2) I'm using the Mac version, perhaps the Mac version just looks bloated for some reason, or 3) there may be settings that I've not found that make the interface elements smaller? Do you have any thoughts or ideas to reduce the interface size?

[@RicoResolves]

Hello Benk, thank you for your question. What's the resolution of your monitor? My "view" is the same with the 15,6" laptop screen as is it with my 27" 4k monitor. Have you tried going into the settings menu of darktable and change some things around there? It's the gear icon on the right top of the "liveview" (if that makes sense)

[@BenkArtist]

Hey @@RicoResolves , thanks for your fast reply!! My monitor is actually 15.4-inch and the resolution is 2880 x 1800. No other software has the bloated interface issue and I can't find anything relevant in the settings. Thanks for the suggestion though. Let me know if you have any other thoughts :)

Thanks Rico I just did a photo shoot where my setting off, blurry 😒. I'm new to darktable is there a way to fix them?

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you for asking! Unfortunately there's not. You might be able to sharpen it a little bit using the sharpen module but that won't fix it completely. Programs like darktable are awesome to help good images become better but they can't turn bad images into perfect ones.

When you start to edit an image, your history shows only original as a step, mine on the otherhand, applied 12 filters automatically, how do I disable them on the start. I also like to start on very original image.

[@RicoResolves]

Go to the step you want to save, and then select: "compress history".

Hi, thanks, terrific video. Just wondering if you have any views on Raw Therapee. As compared to Darktable that is. I’d like to start with one of these and I am finding it hard to decide. Thanks!

[@RicoResolves]

I've never tried Rawtherapee before, but darktable gives me everything I need

[@accentontheoff]

@@RicoResolvesGot it. Appreciate the reply.

Thanks for great tutorial. I am novice user and this really helped. I want to add watermarks on my images. I know how to add watermark in darktable, and I have SVG file prepared, but there is an issue. Watermark does not look good on every picture. While I use Photoshop, I resolve this by adding custom stroke (usually black, white or grey) or shadow on watermark image to match photo. In darktable I cannot find way how to do it. Is there some missing tool for that?

[@RicoResolves]

The darktable watermark tool isn't very sophisticated if you ask me. I'd use a different program to do that :)

[@RicoResolves]

You can "watermark" your photos by adding metadata too

[@epedja]

@@RicoResolves that's bad news :(

[@WhittyPics]

Is there a highlight recovery tool?

[@RicoResolves]

There is Dennis!

Hey Rico, thank you for all this good content! I wanted to ask you, how did you manage to get file types in the lighttable view? Many thanks for the answer in advance!

[@RicoResolves]

Hi, thanks! Did you figure it out yet? You can check the "image information" and see all the details!

Bedankt voor deze prima inleiding. Ben na aanschaf nieuwe camera overgeschakeld van Gimp naar Darktable 2.6.2. Bij de lenscorrectie blijft het vakje voor de camera leeg, mijn lens (Nikkor 18-140mm) staat aangeduid maar met vermelding "Onbekende camera/lens; selecteer handmatig". Als ik dit doe, staat Nikon D7500 er niet bij. Enig idee?

[@RicoResolves]

Dank voor jouw vraag! Heb je geprobeerd om eerst de Nikon te selecteren en daarna de lens? Ben op dit moment niet in de gelegenheid om even voor je te kijken. Ik kan er altijd bij je op terug komen als dat niet werkt 👍

[@janderboven4711]

@@RicoResolves Ja; de Nikon D7500 staat gewoon niet in het lijstje...

[@RicoResolves]

Hoe is het resultaat als je de Nikon D5600 kiest?

[@janderboven4711]

@@RicoResolves Staat er ook niet bij. De D5000-reeks stopt bij D 5200; de 7000-reeks bij D7100... Na wat googlen blijkt dat het een Linux-probleem zou kunnen zijn. Waarschijnlijk zal ik moeten wachten tot versie 2.7...

[@RicoResolves]

Hey Jan, excuses dat ik nu pas reageer. Op 1 of andere manier stond jouw comment in de spam box. Versie 2.7 voor Linux zwerft al ergens rond. Voor Windows ga ik hem later beschikbaar maken!

Dankjewel Amy, leuk je weer eens te zien hier!
