Darktable Secrets: Mastering Lightroom's Top 10 Tips!

[@jeanfrancoisneuder]

Thank you so much, I couldn't really get into dartable, I watched a lot of boring videos but your is very good, you don't loose time you go directly to the tips. It's great !!!

[@RicoResolves]

Thanks man, I appreciate this a lot! I'll try to keep my tutorials straight to the point!

[@raziel7997]

These days, when many of us have been forced to stay at home, we can catch up and watch videos for which we did not have time. :) This was one of those. Thanks to this I learned how to use snapshot. :) Finally I know how to compare initial image with that after all changes. After 8 months of using DT :D

[@RicoResolves]

This was even in an old version of darktable. The 3.0 version is even better!

[@621add]

Awesome! I just started seriously editing my pictures (and picked darktable as my editor) and this was very helpful, especially because many other tutorials online are for Lightroom! Looking forward to checking out your other videos.

[@RicoResolves]

Hello Allison! I'm so happy to hear that my tutorials are of help to you! Darktable is a fantastic raw photo editor with loads of possibilities! Every Thursday a new tutorial will be uploaded. I'm pretty sure you'll like the tutorial that I'm uploading this Thursday. I'll edit a picture from A-Z using different modules :)! Thanks again for following along, I appreciate that!

[@Nerdzombiedisco]

Great workflow...looking forward to adapting this tutorial to my street photography.

[@RicoResolves]

Awesome!

[@richardinmontreal396]

Another great video. Keep up the great work! One tip for other readers, in dt 3.x, the zoom key is changed from Z -> W. The video was shot using dt 2.x where the zoom was Z, but now Z is for undo and W is for zoom.

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you for your tip Richard!

[@KseniaIce9]

Oh, I though that's because his keyboard is French and he had AZERTY :)

[@balhallak]

Very useful information, I just started using Darktable today, I fell in love with it from first moment, thank you man.

Great tips. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve watched two videos from you. And learned quite a lot. Great stuff man

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you, that is very nice to hear! Welcome to my channel!

[@EricCosner]

Excellent tutorial, Rico! It's amazing to me all the things you can do in darktable. I had never seen before the ability to correct rotation and perspective at the same time. Really cool man!

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you my friend! I really appreciate the support! Darktable has great abilities to improve/enhance/change photos!

Today I found two gems: Darktable and your channel. Subscribed!

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you Alfonso! I appreciate that! Welcome to my channel. If you run into problems or have questions about darktable, let me know and I'll do my best to answer them as good as possible.

[@ThrashingBasskill]

3:20 Wow, I noticed right away, that this is a picture taken from the costa brava in rosas, spain. Struck me as I was there about 10 times.

[@RicoResolves]

You are absolutely right! Great place, I really like the boulevard. We used Penny boards to travel from one side to another. Very nice!

[@paretare4946]

Great bro

[@accentontheoff]

Hi Rico, thanks for the video. One question… back in the beginning, when you were choosing a software to commit to, did you also consider RawTherapee. If yes, what were the reasons why you picked Darktable as the winner. Thanks and apologies if this is a slightly stupid question.

[@RicoResolves]

Hi, it's not a stupid question. Darktable was something I remembered from years ago, and that's when I decided to try it again and stick with it. So no particular reason.

[@accentontheoff]

@@RicoResolves Ah ok. Well, thanks for replying.

[@alwilliams8584]

Rico thank you for the videos you put out! In the lightable the way my pics are displayed has changed stars are no longer across the bottom, also when I select one as soon as I move off it it becomes unselected. I am new to darktable but I can see that there is a lot of potential. THANKS AGAIN! I am working in Windows10

[@RicoResolves]

I'll make a new video on the light table soon!

[@A1Bokeh]

i really like that rotate thing you did ! that will come in clutch i was just doing it by eye before haha. thank you teacher

[@RicoResolves]

Nice! Check out tomorrow's video, you'll love it!

[@ganeshk5167]

Great content buddy.

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you so much for getting on board with me! I appreciate the compliment!

[@JorisPtrs]

Hey Rico, ik heb een vermoeden dat jij Nederlander bent? Bedankt voor de video's, ik ben nieuw met Darktable dus nog veel te leren... Een ander vraagje: Is dat een Sterckeman caravan? Ik heb dezelfde (en kwam die de laatste 5 jaar maar een keer tegen op de snelweg). Waar heb je de coole voortent van? Alvast bedankt, grtjs uit Antwerpen, Joris.

[@RicoResolves]

Hey Joris, dat klopt! Die caravan is inderdaad een Sterckeman! Geen idee uit welk bouwjaar en het type weet ik ook niet maar ze zijn er niet veel meer volgens mij. Kom ze zelf ook nergens tegen en iedereen kijkt verwonderd als ze een moderne auto zien met zo'n oude caravan haha! Die luifel zat er bij, zo heb ik hem gekregen maar hij is volgens mij niet origineel. Je kan er dacht ik elk willekeurige luifel voor kopen, zolang ze maar door die geleiders kunnen. Ik heb ook nog een originele voortent erbij, die stokken zijn alleen poreus geworden, dus daar haal ik ooit nog eens een nieuwe voor. Gr Rico

[@JorisPtrs]

@@RicoResolves ok, bedankt! Grappig, ik herkende de caravan direct op je fotos. Het is een 1985 model. Ik verhuur de caravan ondertussen ook via Camptoo (met succes :) ). Ik heb ook nog een ouderwetse voortent erbij maar jouw opstelling lijkt me wel tof. Over je video's: erg professioneel, ik denk eraan iets gelijksaardig op te starten, ik ben drummer en heb net een drumboek geschreven dat ik graag op internet wil promoten. Prettige zondag, Joris

[@RicoResolves]

@@JorisPtrs fantastisch, weet ik dat ook weer. Weet je het model ook toevallig? Gewoon doen, KZbin heeft mij veel leuke dingen gebracht. Je zou drum tutorials kunnen maken bijv! Daar is ongetwijfeld wel een markt voor. Eventueel courses maken voor bijv Udemy, dan heb je ook "digital assets" die je kan verkopen.

[@JorisPtrs]

@@RicoResolves Het model dat zou ik ff moeten opsnorren.. merci voor de stimulans! Een kei ben ik niet echt in dat domein, moet nog veel leren. Net een nieuwe Macbook Pro gekocht, dus dat is al een stevig begin! Kan ook deftig geluid opnemen (drums), ik gebruik Logic. Goeie Fuji camara maar denk eraan een GoPro aan te schaffen. Jij hebt alles al doende geleerd, of kan je daar ergens courses voor volgen? Thx voor je tijd

[@RicoResolves]

@@JorisPtrs alles heb ik zelf geleerd via KZbin tutorials en veel doen. Ben van nature ook iemand die steeds bezig is met "zichzelf uitvinden" dus dat helpt ook.

[@larryglatt2548]

I downloaded Darkroom and found it too over the top for me and so I went to uninstall in MS and uninstalled it(2X), however it keeps popping up when I boot in the AM; help please. Thank you.

[@martinhommel9967]

Great video - thank you. Perhaps there are Adobe alternatives after all.

[@RicoResolves]

There definitely are Martin! GIMP for Photoshop, darktable for Lightroom, Audacity for Audition, DaVinci Resolve for Première Pro, and DaVinci Fusion(within Resolve) for After Effects. Inkscape for Illustrator.

[@cosmo0080]

well done thank you

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you Cosmo!!

[@isobelle-hepsyjones3300]

This is so cool great video awsome tips big help😁

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you kind sir! I truly appreciate the feedback!

[@HullioGQ]

Can i use DarkTable as a DAM - similar to Adobe Bridge?

[@RicoResolves]

I have no idea, sorry

[@dpenn555]

Is It possible to compare images side by side in Lightable similar to Lightroom using the filmstrip

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you for your question. Is that before or after an edit?

[@dpenn555]

Before, I know you can take a snapshot of an edited image and see how the effects applied appear, what I want to do is compare 2 separate images side by side prior to editing

[@RicoResolves]

Hopefully I understood your question correctly. Darktable has a filmstrip option. All you have to do is import the pictures and go to the darkroom menu. On the bottom you'll be able to scroll through the images. Is this the answer you were looking for?

[@dpenn555]

Rico's Story No it's not exactly the answer I am looking for but Thank you very much for responding, Here is an example of what I am talking about comparing images in the filmstrip kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap7GdoOAhbaHr6s

[@RicoResolves]

My apologies for replying so late. Your comment got caught in my spambox because it has a link in it. I've checked out the video. Unfortunately darktable does not support this option :(!

[@SebastiandeGroot]

If I ever run out of money, this is what I’ll use. Starting to doubt why I pay for Lightroom CC anyway 😂 cool upload man!

[@RicoResolves]

Thanks man! Because of these alternatives I don't have an Adobe subscription 👍!

[@cosmo0080]

i watched this again and learned some more

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you Cosmo! That is so nice to hear! It always brings me joy to see you comment on my videos! Thanks again!

[@tbd3602]

For some reason I can’t pick auto exposure ?

[@RicoResolves]

Auto exposure can only be used when you're using a RAW file to edit and when you haven't done anything to the exposure just yet :). Let me know if that solves it for you!

[@tbd3602]

Rico's Story ok I think that’s the issue. Which is what I thought. Thanks brother

[@RicoResolves]

No problem! Feel free to ask me anything about darktable!

[@blendering3D]

What about color grading??? I came here for that but I guess I was expecting a lot, nice vid though

[@RicoResolves]

Hello Pablo, I made a seperate video about color correction and color grading. Here is the video on color grading: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGepm3-fo8Rrg5Y

word!

[@iamkian]

ik gebruik dit programma zelf niet maar je kan er wel heel veel mee. ik had laats nog een idee voor je wat misschien wel leuk was om ook een howto over te maken. Maar. ik weet niet meer wat het was. :-/

[@RicoResolves]

Zodra je het weet, stuur het dan maar naar mijn IG! Dan ga ik voor jou aan de slag!

[@alext.4131]

Instant like this video for clickbaiting title, that cutted somewhere after the word "should" :D by the way, i prefer GNU/GPL and open-source software.

[@RicoResolves]

Awesome! Thank you very much!

[@OttoOome]

Very good explained. I was still there till the end. Watchtime by fellow KZbinrs👊 The tips you explain are also usable in other picture and video editing programs. This kind of video's you have to make more often.👍 100 views in two days. I wish al my video's could have that effect. Perhaps you did also some research for your title🤔

[@RicoResolves]

Hey Otto! Fantastic to see you here again! It's awesome to read that you've watched the entire tutorial and like what you saw! I 100% agree, the tips here can be used elsewhere as well! Many more tutorials will follow! Regarding the title: I did do some research, but my tutorials are being posted on different platforms. My regular vlogs on Sunday aren't. That explains it I guess.

It could be great but the music is too distracting,. Sorry, bye.

Maybe just me, but I had to give up watching this as I found it difficult trying to understand what you were saying.

[@RicoResolves]

Can you explain to me what made it difficult to understand? That way I can change it in the future.

[@tectorama]

@@RicoResolves You were a little too quick for my old brain to cope with Rico :), and you have a very strong accent.

[@RicoResolves]

@@tectorama I'm sorry to hear that. The accent is something I've never heard before (that it's too strong). Are you native in English?

[@tectorama]

@@RicoResolves Yes, I'm English born and Bred :)..... I shall give it another go, as I've just loaded DT onto my PC. I still use a stand alone version of Lightroom (V.6.1), but want an alternative should I at anytime update my camera.

[@RicoResolves]

@@tectorama did you download the 2.7 beta version which can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ7Jl6NppM2rl9k It's way faster than 2.6 :)!
