Thank you very much. I think you should probably make styles and share/sell them and use those to demonstrate how to use the styles. That truly completes the Lightroom equivalency.
Just stumbled across your channel a couple of days ago and have been binge watching since. Excellent and informative videos, packed with useful tips. I've been using DT for about 18 months and reached the limit in my editing skills. Fresh inspiration to take it too the next level. - Thanks
I used a local photo print shop with an inkjet plotter. Having worked with them for a long time I know what I need to do to get a decent print, namely, lift the shadows somewhat more than I would for the screen as they print darker. I also remove any 'artificial' fading of the blacks because this simulates ink soaking into paper, which naturally happens by itself when printing. Then I export a full size JPEG using the printer profile supplied by the printer to give to them.
Another good video -thanks :) I'll be using that multiply trick on skies in the future. I've heard you mention several times that you choose "no AA filter" in the diffuse and sharpen module as your camera doesn't have a AA filter. I believe "AA filter" and "no AA filter" refers only to the type of sharpening applied and doesn't refer to the camera sensor technology. The only difference between the two presets is the amount of radius span applied with "AA filter" apply double the span at 8 pixels. This is attempting to "straighten jaggies" and hence perform anti-aliasing. I use "no AA filter" as my primary sharpening too, but often with two iterations and then applying a little opacity to tune the effect to taste. Do you ever process astrophotography? I do struggle to get good results with Darktable with these.
My understanding is that you use the AA preset if your sensor has an AA filter and vice versa. The docs don't mention it (of course) though - I shall put out some feelers and see if I can get a solid answer. Thanks for the Super Thanks - I'm now officially a semi-pro UA-camr 😄👍
@@DarktableLandscapes I am looking forward to this precision as the description of the Diffuse and sharpen module isn't specific about when the two instances of anti-aliazation presets 'AA filter' and 'no AA filter' should be used. E.g., is 'AA filter' mitigating the native AA in my camera? And is 'no AA filter' simulating a not existing anti-aliazing feature in another camera? Right now I use them to taste, but it would be nice to know the precise effect. Unfortunately the creator of this module and its presets could be out of reach.
@@DarktableLandscapes Welcome. Not related but playing with dt this morning I discovered that you can use the right mouse button to rotate an image whilst in an unrelated module. RC & drag to create a measuring line e.g. on the horizon or side of a building.
@@bernym4047 yeah I think I've used that to straighten horizons in a few videos now 😁. I keep meaning to mention that you can right click on a drawn shape to remove it as well.
I've been totally sold on this program 👍
Thank you very much.

Noted, I'll look into it. 👍

Welcome aboard!
Thanks! Learning and enjoying.
Thank you, much appreciated 👍
Thanks
And how did you go about printing it?
When it was printed was it at those module settings?

Bedankt
Much appreciated! 😊
It's great that this guy's using linux
This guy definitely prefers it to Windows 😊

How do I make a coffee donation?
@@kennethjeffery7457 there should be a Thanks button somewhere underneath the video, in the same region as the like button, share button etc 🙂
Thanks
Thanks Berny, that's very kind! 👍
