Hi everyone! A lot has changed the past few years and I've made a NEW version WITHOUT MUSIC on darktable 4.6! Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5TNcqCKgq54has

[@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.

Beste Rico…ik kreeg van een kennis te horen en te zien dat hij begonnen was met het uitproberen van darktable en de foto’s bevielen me heel goed. Aparte kleurintensiteit en heel scherp. Ik gebruik eigenlijk alleen Snapseed en dat bevalt prima op mijn ipad. Maar nu ik jouw video zag ga ik het ook op mijn Mac installeren en proberen. Dank voor je enthousiaste uitleg en duidelijke voorbeelden. Is het ook een optie om het op de iPad te zetten of is dat onhandig?

[@rezaadili1161]

Hi Rico, thx for the content. It was informative. I have just a recommendation. As there are many functions and menus, i had struggle to reading texts of the menus. Is there a possibility that while you are recording your video, when you click on a special menu or function, the screen will be zoomed in, enabling a larger view of the area for better clarity of texts? Thanks

I tried, but with Davinci Resolve it's a hassle. So I decided to use a highlighted mouse pointer in future videos!

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.

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?

[@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.

Great video as usual, I would like to learn to do fine art editing on darktable. I would be much appreciated. Thank you.

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you Deepak! I'll see what I can do. The next two tutorials are already scheduled. Thank you for your suggestion, I'll get to work!

Good stuff man! ☮️👀☮️

Thank you Sonny!

The background music is very annoying

[@RicoResolves]

Check my latest vids. No music anymore :).

[@potatosalad68]

I don't mind it

[@RicoResolves]

@potatosalad68 I made a new one, without music

Hi, Anthony Morganti sent me here - looking for an alternative to Lightroom - this might be it - thanks.

[@RicoResolves]

Welcome Hamish! I appreciate you being here. If you have questions about darktable or suggestions for tutorials, please let them know!

[@unbendible]

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".

[@313w47st]

why won't darktable load on my macbook pro 2011. I have 16G ram and plenty of hard drive space.

[@RicoResolves]

Does it give you an error code?

[@313w47st]

@@RicoResolves Just says unable to load. Tried 3 times

[@denysdemers8262]

Awesome video. don't really need the background music though.

[@RicoResolves]

It's gone in later videos :)

[@toserve]

hello sir ...is there a big difference between 2.6 and 2.7?

[@RicoResolves]

A lot Sol! I like the RGB Curves module in 2.7 a lot.

[@Rich171090]

I can't seem to find the equalizer module? has it changed name? Thanks for the tutorial!

[@RicoResolves]

Tone equalizer or contrast equalizer?

[@Rich171090]

Ah Theyve moved the preset button too. Thats what I was looking for, Thank you. Subscribed, cheers!

@@Rich171090 welcome to the channel!

[@USGrant21st]

Why didn't they think that not everybody uses a mouse with a scroll wheel. I've always been using a trackball, there is no scroll wheel, so how am I supposed to do those operations?

[@RicoResolves]

I guess to do the equivalent?

[@USGrant21st]

@@RicoResolves yeah? what equivalent? there ain't one.

[@mitjagaikin1275]

Hi Rico,my Darktable 3.2 on Mac OS.after loading, the tab Darkroom worked great.After a while, the darkroom tab does not display the modules panel .Updated to version 3.4, but to no @t modules (histogram etc).Looks like I'm very dumb and can't solve a simple problem.Sorry about my English. Thanks for any answer.

[@RicoResolves]

Did it move to the right? Click the small arrow on the right. It should pop back up :)

[@sergeypn7226]

@@RicoResolves unfortunately rights boton (arrow),is blocked.and left as well.Those arrovs active only on first tab, lightroom.

[@RicoResolves]

Then I don't think I can help, because I don't fully understand

[@rv8322]

Good but, for the background music.

[@behramcooper3691]

Background music too loud and distracting. Otherwise a good starting point.

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you for your feedback Behram, is the music too loud with speakers and headphones or just with speakers and/or headphones and/or laptop speakers? Looking forward to your reply so I can address this problem accordingly :)!

[@behramcooper3691]

Hi Rico. I was watching this video on a Samsung tablet using a Sennheiser noise reduction headphone.

[@RicoResolves]

Thank you! I will listen to my videos through a headphone and adjust the volume accordingly! I have a preset for my audio tracks but not every audio track is recorded at the same volume I think (music). I'll try to pay more attention to that! Thanks again 👍

[@amyuuldriks]
