Darktable Episode 43: How to deal with the colors in the darktable part two - color balance rgb

[@wisdombox4]

Another great tutorial. Your English is much more clear and easy to understand. Your teaching skills are better than native English speakers.

[@froreyfire]

This video is so underappreciated! I have never seen an example before where anyone brings such a clear artist's intent to a photo! Working with a palette rather than just moving a few sliders and see what happens! Thanks for the inspiration, Boris!

[@froreyfire]

Oh, and you took a boring picture and built it into a great photo!

[@blonchk]

Your last four episodes, clear and well thought out, have been the key to my understanding of the subtleties of the scene refered tools. A huge thank you for your fantastic series, Boris.

[@bernym4047]

you have developed a very good eye for diagnosing photographs. Excellent video. Thank you.

[@Superogobongo]

Thank you for the great explanation! I finally realized what is going on with the scene referred workflow!

[@osmumos]

Thank you Boris! This video has helped me understand the benefit of Color Balance RGB. By seeing you explain why you made the specific adjustments to attain the final look, I have learned a lot! I really appreciate.

Nice one again Boris. It is really awesome how you can turn a so-so photo to a wonderful one. Congratulations once again 😊

Hallo Boris, absolut gute Erklärung, die ich auch ohne große Englischkenntnisse begriffen habe. Vielen Dank und bleib gesund.

[@henningharms1233]

Super, vielen Dank Boris, endlich verstehe ich etwas mehr, was ich bei DT mache und wie ich es in Zukunft besser machen kann.

[@juricotchas]

I congratulate you. These last episodes have been a very valuable contribution to the community. Thanks for sharing knowledge. Greetings !!!

[@jafrishuhab5672]

Brilliant explanation Boris. Very logical approach. I have never seen a more step wise detailing by anyone. Kudos for the effort, thanks a tonne. Waiting eagerly for the next one !!

Just discovered your channel - its going to be a go to

[@abhishes]

Amazing workflow!!!!!!

[@tonyc3848]

Great explanation and really shows the potential of using multiple instances. Thanks for putting this together!

[@christianschroll6124]

Amazing edit, loved that you discussed not just how you did it by why.

[@davidwilson4179]

Yet another superb and informative video Boris. Well done and thank you!

[@siddharthmittal9355]

Thank you for creating these wonderful episodes

very nice your videos Boris. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@BackDoorMann]

Thanks a lot for your videos! They helped me a lot!

[@bartomiejdolny7555]

Great series, thank you Boris!

[@ColdCoffeePhotography]

Once again another really helpful video - just a question, do you know why the bottom section is labelled power not midtones?

[@s7habo]

The "4 ways" tab in color balance RGB module is a derivative of color grading standard (ASC CDL) which is used in film industry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASC_CDL Unlike other sliders, the power function affects the *entire* dynamic range with emphasis on mid-tones.

@@s7habo thanks Boris 👍

[@stephenward5133]

Thanks again. An excellent explanation of how to use Color Balance RGB. Where can we get that log scale Grey image that you used so that we can have a practice?

[@s7habo]

Thanks Stephen! I don't offer my raw files from videos because, among other things, I don't think there's much to be gained by simply mimicking the process. Much better to take your own samples to practice the technique. If you need raw files and want to practice, you have at discuss.pixls.us/c/processing/playraw/30 some nice raw files available. There you can practice nicely and also present your own processing to the others.

[@Bigjuergo]

thank you so much for sharing this knowledge!

Great tutorial, Boris! Thank you ver much!

[@bernym4047]

I need to watch again at a slower speed. I had difficulty seeing what you were adjusting and had to keep zooming in to the right side the zoom out again to see what had changed. Even so I can see the power in these techniques.

[@lester1911]

Make a masterclass i paid for it great explanation

[@anton.plotnikov]

Amazing! Thank You!

[@solitone]

why they called it “global” when it influences only shadows (and more than the shadow slider itself does)?

[@musiimemuramura7516]

Nice!!

Hallo Boris, danke deine Videos helfen mir immer wieder ein Stück weiter zu kommen in Darktable. Eine Frage kannst du nochmal ein Video zeigen wie man die Lichter am besten retten kann ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKKXfJ2jYs6ff7s Hier hatte ich ein Video gesehen aber es müsste noch ein wenig besser erklärt sein und am besten in deutsch. das wäre ein Traum. Danke Gruß Mario

[@s7habo]

Hi Mario. Spitzlichter Rekonstruktion ist eine sehr komplexe Thema, die ich meide wie die Pest da ich sehr schlechte Erfahrungen damit habe. Es handelt sich dabei um verschiedene Algorithmen die versuchen die Daten zu rekonstruieren, die nicht mehr vorhanden sind. Abhängig davon ob man ein oder mehrere Farbkanäle ins Nirwana gefördert hat, kann es sein dass man stundenlang damit verbringt einigermaßen zufriedenstellenden Ergebnis zu bekommen. Um alle diese Möglichkeiten und Parameter erklären zu können muss ich mich damit intensiv beschäftigen und ich bin mir nicht sicher ob ich das adäquat in der Lage bin. Deswegen - mit sehr wenigen Ausnahmen - enden bei mir die überbelichteten Fotos gleich in dem Müll.

[@photomoods-mariobolz8801]

@@s7habo danke für deine Antwort, im Prinzip hast du ja vollkommen Recht. ich habe einige Aufnahmen wo die Sonne oder Wasseroberfläche zu hell ist, der Nikon Converter bekommt das gut in den Griff aber das Handling und Bedienung ist eher schlecht , da gefällt mir Darktable viel besser aber da habe ich immer mit den Rosa Rückständen zu kämpfen. Grüße und danke

[@s7habo]

@@photomoods-mariobolz8801 "da habe ich immer mit den Rosa Rückständen zu kämpfen" - Dem kannst du entgegnen, indem du im Modul "Spitzlicht-Rekonstruktion" anstatt "Spitzlichter abschneiden" eine der anderen Optionen wählst (in LCh oder Farbe rekonstruieren) und dann "Abschneide-Schwellwert" Schieberegler nach links oder rechts schiebst, bis die Rosa Rückstände verschwunden sind. Auch das "Farbrekonstruktion" Modul kann da von Nützen sein.
