In response to your closing words of this excellent video, I will say that darktable became my raw editor of choice in 2021, after a long learning curve and after being with Lightroom from its beta version. It is interesting to me to realise that I have not used LR at all for about 9 months now and generally prefer to use this high performance Window PC only for watching instructional videos. I do my editing on a less capable PC because it is running only Linux. Your video is most valuable to me because such a large proportion of my photos are landscapes. I look forward to more of your work. Thankyou.
Thanks a lot for that comment, I really appreciate it 🙏 I hope to follow up with some more darktable videos next week. Thanks again for your kind words 🙏
Good to watch other folks' edit. Thank you. I did notice you lost that lovely orange glow in the left hand side of the sky but that's a small criticism.
Hi great video has helped out a lot thanks! I too am struggling to understand how to use this great software. Why do you add another instance of exposure??
Hi Steven, thanks for commenting, I really appreciate it. My main reason for adding another instance of exposure is that I can always remove it again if I don't like it at a later point in the workflow and I'm then able to fall back to the original one pretty easy, another reason (which actually happens often) for me is that I might love it in some specific part(s) of the image that I only realize at a later part in my edit, I can then mask it in (or out) of parts of the image. It's a way for me to keep in power of what's going on where. I hope that answers your question, if not please let me know.
Been using Darktable for about a year now, and it is a stunning software. But as you say, the learning curve is very steep, and especially with version 3.6 and transferring many of the modules to scene referred workflow I am a bit lost and struggling to get the same results as before. But hope to get there sometime soon 😃 Bruce's videos are just great to learn how to work with DT.
Hi Preben, thanks a lot for commenting. Yes, wrapping my head around a scene referred workflow has been a challenge, but I feel I'm on my way to getting just a little understanding of that workflow now.
The person I mention with the excellent Darktable guides is Bruce Williams Photography found here: ua-cam.com/users/audio2u

Hi Berny, Yes, that got lost, I would possibly be able to fix that with a mask and exposure :)
Thanks a lot for commenting :)
